Classic Carousel at Mermaid Quay, Cardiff, Wales
Even children love getting involved in the parade and costume fun. Here a group of friends are dressed as little mermaids and are happy to be part of the parade.
A parade of mermaids, sea creatures, and very often lots of pasties proceed down Coney Islands historic boardwalk every summer.
