New Mermaid Parade Route Information!
May 15th, 2009, 11:54am
 
The Parade will now start at West 21st Street and Surf Avenue
  • The Parade will roll east down Surf Ave to West 10th Street
  • at West 10th Street the Parade will turn south towards the boardwalk
  • cars and motorized floats can park on West 10th Street
  • At the Boardwalk, the marchers and push-pull floats will turn west and head towards West 15th Street
  • At West 15th Street the Parade will disband.

The new route is much longer- about twice the size so please wear appropriate footwear for a long walk on the pavement.

New Check-in and Registration Locations!
  • PUSH-PULL FLOATS AND MARCHERS will register at Surf Ave and W 21st Street.
  • MOTORIZED FLOATS AND ANTIQUE CARS will register at Surf Ave Side at W 19th and W 20th street.

Because W21st Street is much narrower than our old staging area (W 10th Street), you will NO LONGER be able to PULL YOUR TRUCK OR VEHICLE to unload materials for assembling your push-pull cart or costume. But, DON’T WORRY- you will be able to assemble your cart in a secure location with vehicle access on Surf Avenue between W 21st and W 22nd Street. You may then push you cart onto W 21st Street.

For Your Convenience
For your convenience, The Soup Shop and Peggy O’Neals with both sell FOOD on W21st Street inside the staging area. There will also be WATER available for purchase.

Parking
If you plan on driving to the parade, you may purchase parking in the expanded KeySpan parking lot- conveniently located on W 22nd Street and Surf Avenue.
