""When you run a not-for-profit arts organization in, basically, a seasonal neighborhood, it becomes tight. It's a hard game of catch-up.""
""That [$37,000] wouldn't even cover half of the cost," said Rinn."
""I think we're going to get to the point where we're going to have the best celebration in Brooklyn," said Rinn."
The Mermaid Parade in Brooklyn may not return this year due to financial difficulties faced by its organizers, Coney Island USA. The artistic director, Adam Rinn, expressed concerns about the organization's recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. An online fundraiser has raised over $37,000, but this amount is insufficient to cover half of the event's costs. Efforts are underway to secure sponsorships to support the parade, which is tentatively scheduled for June 20 on Coney Island.
