Rally to Save Coney Island's Astroland

astroland2.jpg

Supporters of Astroland will be gathering tomorrow at the Surf Ave. entrance of Astroland in a rally to save the boardwalk amusement park from shuttering for good. Sunday is the last day of the season for the park and unless Thor Equities extends its lease for another year, Astroland will be closing for good. One supporter recommend showing up early and will be providing foamboard and markers to make signs. PDF posters for printing can be found here. Colorful outfits are recommended, as it is a celebration in hope of Astroland's continued existence rather than a wake or a funeral. An online petition to save the park can be signed here. Performers at tomorrow's rally will include Mariachi Real de Mexico at 4pm and The Hungry March Band at 6pm.
