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.
In the backstage area parade participants continue to add the finishing touches to their costumes as they wait for the parade to commence.
Crowds jump and cheer for beads as floats pass by during the Krew d'etat Marti Gras parade in uptown New Orleans.
This Krewe D'Etat member knows that he has the ability to make the crowds beg. During the four hour parade route through uptown New Orleans, he will throw hundreds of purple, green, and gold beads, but few will win these prized medallions.
