Coney Island isn’t for sale, not now, not ever. And that’s thanks to YOU.

Because of YOU, the spirit of Coney Island is alive and well. This year, your passion, your generosity, and your belief in the magic of this community helped us bring the laughter, excitement, and mayhem of our one-of-a-kind programming to life. And when developers tried to roll the dice on a casino in our backyard, you stood with us to say loud and clear: Coney Island is not for sale.

Together, we won.
But the curtain hasn’t fallen — not by a long shot.

Now, as we look to the future, we’re asking you to keep that momentum going by donating today to help Coney Island USA stay strong, creative, and proudly independent.

We need your help to keep the lights shining, the banners flying, and the performers doing what they do best: bringing joy, wonder, and creativity to everyone who visits the People’s Playground. This fight reminded us that Coney Island’s strength comes from its people, from neighbors, fans, and supporters like you.

Your support helps us protect and grow what we’ve built together. It ensures that the Mermaid Parade keeps splashing, the Coney Island Circus Sideshow keeps thrilling, and that independent producers have a safe and welcoming space in the Sideshows by the Seashore theater. It keeps the Coney Island Museum open as a living archive of our neighborhood’s wild, weird, and wonderful history, preserving the stories, artifacts, and spirit that make this place unlike anywhere else on earth. That art and imagination continue to thrive right here.

So come one, come all! Make your year-end donation and help us keep the greatest and most unique experience in Brooklyn rolling strong into the future!

With gratitude, gusto, and a little glitter,

Your Friends At Coney Island USA
