Join Coney Island USA as we invade Manhattan at New York’s oldest nightclub, Webster Hall, and celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Mermaid Parade at our annual Spring Gala. All proceeds of the Spring Gala go directly towards funding Coney Island USA's innovative arts programming such as Sideshows by the Seashore, The Coney Island Museum, Burlesque at the Beach and the Coney Island Film Festival to name just a few. Coney Island USA also fights to preserve and revitalize Coney Island’s historic amusement district.
This year’s gala event will feature a dazzling display of daring feats executed by the cast of Sideshows by the Seashore, some of New York’s most talented and titillating burlesque performers, a glorious gamut of go go gals and guys, as well as special musical guests for your auditory pleasure. And be on the lookout for all kinds of surprises!
