“Every child is an artist, the problem is staying an artist when you grow up” – Pablo Picasso
I guess that’s why I love the Mermaid Parade…growing up has not gotten in the way of wonder here…
Not even Hurricane Sandy could stop Mermaid Parade ! After a fundraising effort, thousands of people came out to take part in the first post-superstorm Mermaid Parade along Surf Ave. in Coney Island. It’s part-fantasy, part-escapism, but all real. The festival is a wild celebration of the imagination, combining all the eccentricities and all the joys of artistic self-expression
