Coney Island is an
exciting, year-round entertainment destination for all to enjoy.
The oldest winter bathing club in the country, the Coney
Island Polar Bears, kicks off each year in Coney with a New Year's Day
swim. In the Spring, don't miss the
festivities at the Opening Day at Astroland and Deno's in March, or at the
Beach Opening in May! Activity in Coney Island reaches its peak in the summertime, with the
Mermaid Parade, the Siren Festival, and the Hot Dog Eating Contests all drawing
huge crowds. Fall stays hot with the
Coney Island Film Festival in September and Creepshow at the Freakshow in
October.
...And let's not forget - there's always fun to be had at the
New York Aquarium and the Coney
Island Museum,
both open all year long!
