best of: mermaid parade, part 2

And the coverage continues! The photos from this past weekend’s Mermaid Parade at Coney Island continue to pour in today via the For the Love of Brooklyn Flickr group, and I can’t wait to share more all week. I’m keeping an eye on galleries as they crop up, so please be sure to post a link to your gallery in the comments or tweet @loveofbrooklyn if you’d like me to feature your gallery!

Check out some of my favorites below and stay tuned for more as the week continues. If you’re hungry for more, be sure to check out these fantastic sets by Adam Lerner, Jane Kratochvil, Oscar Rivera, and Leanne Staples!
