Coney Island celebrates opening weekend to the delight of Brooklynites
From snow to smiles.
Despite a nor’easter that hit the city with several inches of snow just days earlier, most Coney Island establishments opened their doors to the public for their annual grand opening celebrations over the weekend of March 24 and 25.
“This weekend we were excited to kick off the official opening of the amusement district and welcome in visitors for the 2018 season,” said Events, Marketing and Public Relations Manager for the Alliance for Coney Island Cindy Godla. “Despite the temperatures, we had an amazing turnout which is a true sign that spring is here in Coney Island. We really want to make sure guests have a memorable experience when visiting and this year is sure to deliver with our ever-expanding amusement district, from the summer opening of the much-anticipated Ocean Wonders to our lineup of great events including Friday night fireworks and our music festival.”
