Coney Island USA takes part in Macy’s Thanksgiving parade
Coney Island USA was well represented at one of New York City’s most famous parades.
On Thursday, Nov. 26, the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was reimagined due to COVID-19. Crowds were missing, but entertainment was had with huge balloons, performances and floats as it aired on NBC. Coney Island’s Mermaid Parade partook in the historic day and received national attention.
Dick Zigun, the founder of the Mermaid Parade, was happy that they were finally able to march. The 38th Annual Mermaid Parade was slated to take place this past June. However, it was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and a telethon was held instead.
