With the promise of an “enchanted evening,” Coney Island USA celebrated their unique imprint on New York City culture on Saturday, March 19 with their annual Spring Gala. Featuring sideshows, burlesque dancers, face painting, live music, and variety shows, the Spring Gala is a benefit with all proceeds going directly to Coney Island USA’s innovative arts programming, such as the Mermaid Parade, The Coney Island Circus Sideshow, Burlesque at the Beach, The Coney Island Museum, and the Coney Island Film Festival. Photographer Kwame Anyane-Yeboa was there to catch the excitement.
