The 42nd Annual Mermaid Parade
People are dressing in costumes and marching in the Mermaid Parade on Surf Avenue in Coney Island, N.Y., on June 22, 2024. Founded in 1983, this event is paying homage to Coney Island's forgotten Mardi Gras, a tradition that lasted from 1903 to 1954. Participants are donning sea creatures and nautical-themed outfits, creating a wonderfully wacky and unique experience. (Photo by Gordon Donovan)
