Celebrate All things Nautical at Mermaids & Mariners

A unique event will be making a splash in Port Lambton, Ontario this weekend, and visitors will be able to get into the nautical spirit by dressing up and meeting a group of (kind of) real live mermaids.

Kern Water’s Mermaids and Mariners on the St. Clair will happen along the shores of Brander Park in Port Lambton, and the event boasts artisan & maker areas, a Grub Grotto food truck area, boat displays, and so many mermaids!

Over 20 mermaids will be “swimming in from Toronto to Pennsylvania, and our local waters in between!”

Founder Sherri deWolf said, “We are blown out of the water by the interest and support shown by our local community volunteers and businesses in helping to launch this ship! We are over the waves to come together as a community to #SHELLebratetheshoreline that we call HOME here in beautiful St. Clair Township! Come out and enjoy the park, splash pad, vendors, food, entertainment and, of course, the view! There truly is something for everyone!”

The event received a grant from Lambton County’s Creative County program and has had help with promotions from Tourism Sarnia-Lambton.
