The California Mermaid Convention

06/06/2026

That's right fish - the con fun isn't over yet! We have an ONLINE lecture for you... and you'd better not miss out.
Dive deep into history with the aquatic pioneer and acclaimed Gorgon historian, .medusirena ! Uncover the fantastical origins of mermaid and underwater variety shows, from grand spectacles featuring mermaids and daring divers to mythical monsters and beyond. Get ready for a splash of true-life edu-chantment!
This lecture is a MUST for any mermaid wishing to perform in underwater environments. From the Sip and Dip in Montana, to the Wreck Bar in Florida, to some historic gems still hiding in California, the history of underwater performance is rich - and it continues with you!
