The new amphitheater Will become the Ford Amphitheater
The $5.00 concerts became a thing of the past, though free concerts are held in the amphitheater throughout the season. Eventually, the name Ford was removed.

More incredible costumes

Why so many people on the street???
This costume appeared to be heavy and hard to pull. The reveler had to take breaks often.

This party coming to an end for me
September 5, 2016
All these people on the street interrupt the flow of the troupes, etc. , and make it hard to take photographs.
There were too many gaps between participants. It slowed down the flow.
After I took this photo, I left. There were still a lot more to see.
For many summers, Elton and I headed to Coney Island for the concerts presented by the Boro President. If you brought your own chair, there was no entrance fee but you'd have to sit at the back of the parking lot used for the shows. For $5.00 one would be able to sit closer to the stage on chairs provided by the promoters. Chairs were not assigned. These chairs were uncomfortable but for $5.00 what could one expect? And for $5.00, we were entertained by great entertainers - Spinners, El Gran Combo, Temptations, Mary Wilson, Four Tops, Aretha Franklin, Rose Royce, Tony Rojas, The Jacksons family group, etc.
In 2015, the shows were stopped and a building close by was renovated and converted into an Amphitheater. Photos of the parking lot where the concerts were held and the new amphitheater appear below.
As I walked to and from the new Ford Amphitheater, I took photos.
