Mermaid Parade
FreeNYC Event Flyer
 Date: Saturday, June 24th
Time: 2:00pm
Location: Coney Island (see map)
Cost: Free
Summary: There are two great reasons to head out to Coney Island in the summer time and one of them is the Mermaid Parade. Its kind of like the entire East Village went on vacation together (via subway), met a bunch of circus freaks, and decided to have a party. "The Mermaid Parade pays homage to Coney Island's forgotten Mardi Gras which lasted from 1903 to 1954, and draws from a host of other sources resulting in a wonderful and wacky event that is unique to Coney Island. The Parade is characterized by participants dressed in hand-made costumes as Mermaids, Neptunes, various sea creatures, the occasional wandering lighthouse, Coney Island post card or amusement ride, as well as antique cars, marching bands, drill teams, and the odd yacht pulled on flatbed." Read about the 2005 parade here.

FreeNYC Event Flyer
 Date: Saturday, June 24th
Time: 3:00pm
Location: Central Park Summerstage (click for map)

For this 15th anniversary celebration, NYC's finest soulful house producer brings live house trio Tortured Soul to the stage. Their dance classic "I Might Do Something Wrong" has been tearing up dancefloors for years and can easily be considered one of the finest house tracks ever. This afternoon they are joined by Peven Everett and resident DJs Timmy Regisford and Sting International... Highly Recommended!

Opolis: A Comix Fluxture Opening
FreeNYC Event Flyer
 Date: Saturday, June 24th (weekends through 08/05)
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Flux Factory (38-38 43rd St, LIC)
Cost: Free
Summary: Opolis is the third manifestation of Flux Factory's annual "Comix Fluxture" exhibit. These exhibits have brought cartoonists into the gallery to create comics narratives that also function as installation art. The ongoing objective of the series is to create works of art that can be read intimately---as a comic strip---but also contribute to an overall installation spectacle.

Opolis presents Comix-Fluxture-as-city. A street plan of Opolis, an imaginary city, has been laid out on the floor of the Flux main space. Individual city blocks have been claimed by individual artists. They have designed the buildings and environments that fill the city blocks (apartment buildings, libraries, factories, parks, junkyards, skyscrapers, bars, office buildings, theaters, etc), and have invented characters to populate these environments. The artists have created the work in such a way that as the viewer walks around the block, the buildings (or images in or on the buildings) function as comic strip panels that resolve into a story.
What they've created is a Liliputian city, with the viewer playing Gulliver. It falls somewhere between an exhibit of architectural models and Red Grooms's "Ruckus Manhattan", with the added dimension of thirteen engaging cartoon narratives.
