Coney Island’s famed Mermaid Parade canceled for a second straight year
One of Coney Island’s biggest and most eagerly-anticipated annual events has been canceled once again due to COVID.
The officers and directors of Coney Island USA announced Wednesday that the 2021 Mermaid Parade has been called off.
It was announced earlier in the summer that the historic event, which wasn’t held in 2020, would not only return to Coney Island, but that it would close out the summer season on Sunday, Sept.12.
