Oddball enclaves Coney Island and the Sideshow Hootenanny join forces for this annual ode to freakiness, taking place at Sideshows by the Seashore and the Coney Island Museum in the south Brooklyn neighborhood from Friday, April 25 through Sunday, April 27.
This weekend-long event will celebrate unusual performers and personalities revolving around circus and sideshow art through live performances (sword swallowing, flesh piercing and the like), panel discussions, quirky workshops (beginner's fire eating, advanced mental flossing), an "art and oddities" market and much more.
