Coney Island USA will present our Fall Benefit Gala on Saturday evening, November 11, 2017. Coney Island's oldest landmarked building (our headquarters), is celebrating its 100th birthday this year, and we'll be marking the occasion in high style with a Gala that will be a night to remember.
Tickets for the Gala are $100. The evening will feature a special illustrated presentation in the Museum by CIUSA Founder and Artistic Director Dick Zigun on the colorful, legendary history of 1208 Surf Avenue: 100 years of amusing the masses in the heart of the People's Playground! At Sideshows by the Seashore, a Grand All Star Variety Show Salute to the building's history will cap off the night. Food and open bar are included in the price of admission. Doors open at 7 p.m. Founded in 1980 by Brooklyn impresario and unofficial Mayor of Coney Island Dick D. Zigun, Coney Island USA is known worldwide for the spectacular Mermaid Parade, and as presenters of the Coney Island Circus Sideshow, Burlesque at the Beach, and the Coney Island Film Festival. All funds raised will support these arts programs and the Coney Island Museum. Coney Island USA is located in a National Historic Landmark building, at 1208 Surf Avenue, in Brooklyn, New York.Videos
