This past weekend, a whole host of fanciful creatures performed for approximately one zillion spectators at this year’s Mermaid Parade. Always well-covered by photographers drawn to its bright costumes and zany characters, the annual Coney Island spectacle was even more massive than than I remember this year, aided by beautiful weather and balmy skies.
Lots of FTLOB photographers trekked out to the shore for the meet-up event, and I can’t wait to share some of their best shots. I encourage you to check back all week for more, and feel free to browse the Flickr pool if you’d like to get a head start!
Without further ado, here’s the first installment of photos from the 2010 Mermaid Parade!
