Last year, we celebrated the 100th birthday of our landmarked home at 1208 Surf Avenue. Now, we're setting our sights on the next century. Join Coney Island USA as we "Raise the Roof" at our 2018 fall fundraiser - and help ensure that our beloved building - home to the Freak Bar, the Coney Island Museum, and the Sideshows by the Seashore Theater - remains a stable presence in the People's Playground for years to come. Proceeds from the "Raise the Roof" benefit will help fund vital structural repairs to our landmarked headquarters at 1208 Surf Avenue.

Immerse yourself in the essence of Coney Island as you enter the evening's "vintage circus," where go-go dancers, palm readers, contortionists, jugglers, stilt-walkers, magicians, and other entertainers roam freely. Enjoy hors d'oeuvres and drinks from our friends at the Coney Island Brewery, Deep Eddy Vodka, and The Green Fairy. Take in some themed music, special "speakeasy" performances, silent movies, and an array of novelty items from Denny Daniel's Museum of Interesting Things. Meet our incredible artist-in-residence Marie Roberts and get a glimpse behind-the-scenes at her on-site studio.
