🧜‍♀️ What’s the term for a large group of Mermaids?

Sat., Jul 19 | Kingsland Point Park, Sleepy Hollow | 12-5p | FREE

We don’t know but it’s sure to be mesMERizing! Back for a second year, the Mermaid Festival is making waves with tons of free, imaginative, family fun to create healthier connections between us land dwellers and the waterways.

The action kicks off at noon with live music while land and water parades get going at 1p and beach wading opens at 2p. There will be a Bubble-tastic performance in the Kid Zone (sponsored by Make-A-Wish Hudson Valley) from 2-3p and celebrations in the park from 2-5p featuring bounce houses, games, food trucks, art making, giveaways, a water ceremony, and an original children’s show by Lovely Calamity Productions.

Parking is limited, in fact there will be none inside the park or surrounding areas, so plan ahead. Mermaid, pirate, and sea creature costumes are encouraged.
