This is the place. And I am here, the mermaid whose dark hair streams black, the merman in his armored body. We circle silently about the wreck we dive into the hold. I am she: I am he
–Adrienne Rich

I'm VERY EXCITED to have veterans and newcomers join us this year - Nebraska and Alaska and Colorado family representin'!

We celebrate love and community and inclusiveness and you and me and us and them and that other weirdo over there, in the great tradition that started it all, partying on the very same day: The Coney Island Mermaid Parade! We celebrate all promotions of artistic expression and integrity and love and non-war and non-violence including Pride, BLM, Juneteenth, Mother Earth’s Summer Solstice, Father’s Day, Joshua Tree/s AND MERMAIDS!
