Check Out Pics from the Always Magical Coney Island Mermaid Parade

Once more, the Coney Island Mermaid Parade brought people from all over the city, including Bushwick, to the beach to celebrate a life full of color. In case you missed it, we snapped some favorite moments of this year’s soiree. Check out what it was like.

People had some very creative headdresses:

While others made masks

Kids showed us how magestic they were

Animals also got in on the ocean action

There were some seriously awesome pop culture moments

Reverend Billy was there

Some people showed us what it means to live in a fish bowl

Certain groups got political

While others got artsy

One of our favorite icons rose visited us from up above

And everyone was beautiful
