The 44th annual Mermaid Parade will make a splash in Coney Island this weekend. Glitter, fishnets and other creative costumes will hit the boardwalk Saturday afternoon.

Adam Rinn, artistic director of Coney Island USA, which hosts the parade, joined “The Rush Hour” on Friday to talk about this year’s festivities.
