Dressing up as a mermaid is even more fun when you get to be part of the Mermaid Parade!

Every year at the beginning of summer, mermaids and Neptunes and creatures of the sea flock to Coney Island to dance and twirl and march in the annual Mermaid Parade! A highlight of the year, one little mermaid can't wait to put her costume on and join her parents as they take in the sights, sounds and smells of the fun-filled pageant. This year she is 'Little Mermaid Coming Out of Her Shell.'

An annual artists' parade in New York City, the real Mermaid Parade provides the backdrop for an exciting time that every little diva is sure to enjoy!
