This Week in Coney Island

Bring a chair or blanket, grab a spot on the lawn, and sit back to enjoy some classic pop tunes!
- This Friday, the Cyclone Roller Coaster hosts its T-Shirt Design Contest and Fashion Show. Come see the top designs showcased as the official t-shirt for the 2011 season is chosen. You'll also have the chance to play trivia with Quiz Master Noah Tarnow, win free tickets to ride the Cyclone, and enjoy the hula hoop stylings of Miss Saturn. Kick off the weekend with this free event, followed by Friday Night Fireworks!
- Professionals and amateurs alike compete in Saturday's 20th Annual Sand Sculpting Competition sponsored by the Astella Development Corporation.

Come be inspired and share in this full day of community events!
- Can't get enough of the 60's? SHOUT! The MOD Musical comes to Asser Levy Park on Tuesday. This all-girl musical follows five groovy gals coming of age in England during the swinging decade.
