Organized by Dick Zigun in 1983, the Mermaid Day Parade has been welcoming in summer every year since then. Combining the traditions of Mardi Gras with a host of very talented artist, musicians, performers and performance artists.
Many of these artists work through the year to create unique costumes just for the Mermaid Parade.
