The Coney Island Mermaid Parade is a well-known annual event in Brooklyn, and the 2026 edition on June 20 will bring participants and spectators to the Coney Island boardwalk for a day of creative expression and community celebration. The event draws attendees from across New York City and the surrounding area.
If you are planning to bring a group, Leesel Transportation can help coordinate transportation so your group can travel together safely and stay organized.
Getting to Coney Island With a Group
Coney Island is a popular destination in New York City, and traveling there with a group during a large event can present logistical challenges. Public transit may become more active on parade day, parking in the surrounding area can be limited, and coordinating a group arriving from different parts of the city can add complexity.
Charter bus transportation helps address these challenges. When your group travels together on a Leesel Transportation vehicle, everyone boards at a central location, travels together, and arrives at Coney Island as a group. After the event, your group can return together without needing to coordinate multiple transportation options.
Leesel Transportation has been serving all five boroughs of New York City for over 40 years. The company supports group transportation across the city and works with customers to coordinate travel based on pickup location, group size, and event timing. To learn more, visit the about page.

Plan Your Transportation Early
