The Mermaid Society “Art” Ball is scheduled for Friday, September 16th from 7:00 – 11:30p on the grounds of The Meadows Center located in San Marcos, Texas. The Meadows Center sits on the site of an environmentally, culturally, and archaeologically significant resource and headwaters to the San Marcos River, Spring Lake. The former Spring Lake Resort at Aquarena Springs, the ‘original home of the San Marcos Mermaids’, will come to life with a magical evening paying tribute to the enchanted world of Mother River.

This private evening includes starry night rooftop views, sunset glass bottom boat cruises, live music, dancing, dining, specialty cocktails, live art performances and the crowning of the Society’s first Queen, Shirley Rogers, and her Mermaid Court – all former Aquamaids. This highly original Midsummer Night’s-like evening will draw to a close near midnight.

River chic and other creatively inspired evening attire is highly encouraged.  This is a ticketed event and attendance to this art inspired event will be limited.

The Mermaid Society’s Ball is designed to serve as the primary funding source to support the Mermaid Society Ball, Downtown Parade and SPLASH Festival; and the existence of Mermaid Week SMTX, a community platform to strengthen connectivity and foster community pride through citywide event activity celebrating San Marcos’ vibrant community.
