Coney Island USA is proud to announce the 5th annual CIUSA Spring Fundraising Gala. All proceeds go directly towards funding CIUSA’s many unique programs and the fight to save Coney Island’s historic amusement district.

Without a doubt CIUSA’s annual Gala is one of the most exciting events of the season. Guests can expect a taste of all they’ve come to know and love about Coney Island. With dapper Sideshow stars, scintillating Burlesque cuties and a healthy splash of the odd, CIUSA’s spring gala is one hell of a party in support of one hell of a cause.

And at the end of the day, couldn’t we all use a good party right about now?
