Mermaid Parade Coming to Asbury

Calling all mermaids, pirates, and sea creatures: The Promenade of Mermaids on the boardwalk in Asbury will be even bigger and better this year!

This is the second annual Asbury Park Promenade of Mermaids and it's a great day to get to the boardwalk with your kids to either dress up and be in the parade, or just watch and smile!

Just imagine a procession of pirates, seahorses, shellfish, jellies, and mermaids descending upon the waterfront!

It takes place Saturday, August 27th, at 2 pm, but the pre-festivities and registration if you want to be in the parade begin at Noon at Convention Hall and the boardwalk. It'll be an afternoon of fun, so get your kids in their best sea creature costume and be part of it!

There will be a costume contest, too! Prizes will be awarded for Best Costume and Runner-up for adults (ages 15 and up), as well as 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes for kids 14 and under.

Judges will also crown a King and Queen for the day, and the fun continues after the Promenade with a display of craft vendors, music, and an after-party for ages 21 and up inside the Asbury Park Yacht Club at Ocean and Second Avenues.

The Promenade commences from the north end of the boardwalk, where check-in and registration takes place starting at Noon. At 2 pm the costumed promenaders proceed south along the boards, marching through the Grand Arcade at Convention Hall and continuing until reaching the water park where the prizes will be announced for best costumes.

And the fun doesn't stop there, as the third annual Asbury Park Surf Music Festival continues into the evening on the beach outside Convention Hall's Anchor Bend bar.

Promenade participants can register for just $5. There is no registration required to Promenade, but participants must be registered if they wish to be considered for prizes.
