Since the 1860's, Coney Island has been a beacon for interesting performances. For generations, it has attracted the curious and the enlightened in both the onlooker and the performer. This long-standing tradition continues with this gathering of unique individuals at Sideshows by the Seashore, the Coney Island Museum, Freak Bar and Shooting Gallery Arts Annex as we celebrate Coney Island's exciting place in American popular culture and explore its artistic and spectacular possibilities through performances, talks, and discussions.
