Pirates and Mermaids 2019
MERMAID’S MARKET
SPRING NEWS
SPRING NEWS
It seems like
just a few days ago it was October and we were anxiously waiting for the
construction workers to be finished working in the main section of the Shrimp Park!
And, now we have been enjoying the remodeled park for several months!
The
market has become known as a great spot to find unique & eclectic ‘mermaid
treasures’ (including gifts, clothing, candy, home decor, paintings,
photographs and more.) Thus, making the 1st and 3rd
Saturdays a fun, one-of-kind shopping day!
Each
year, we welcome a few new vendors. The BBQ House Restaurant has become a
regular landmark at the park this season! It is fantastic to have delicious
barbecue lunches available right next to the Mermaid’s Lounge – where you can
also grab a beer, Mermaid Margarita or Bloody Maria. We also have other new
regular vendors (who we call “mermaids”) offering artisan coffee, candy, baked
items, jewelry and more.
On
the first Saturday of February we joined efforts with the Local Rotary Club and
co-hosted the 2nd Annual Fishbowl Seafood Fest. This Rotary
fund-raiser brought almost 20 restaurants plus over 25 arts & crafts
vendors to the park! After an early morning rain “drizzle” we ended up having a
fantastic sun-filled day of food, music, art and fun.
As
spring is arriving, we are looking towards April and making plans for our
season finale! Last year with an unusually early Semana Santa week and an
equally early visit from the Oaxaca Arts & Crafts merchants, our annual Pirate
and Mermaid Extravaganza was forced to take a hiatus.
However,
2019 will see the return of the Pirate and Mermaid Extravaganza, bringing the
musicand tastes of a New Orleans Cajun party to Peñasco - with pirates and
mermaids galore! We will have live music & entertainment throughout the day
along with food & drinks specials!
The
Mermaids invite everyone to join the fun by dressing up as a Pirate or a
Mermaid.
Once again, the costume contest
will present Cash (whoo-hoo!) and
Prizes
for the best costumes in 4 categories: Adult and Child Pirate &
Adult and Child Mermaid.
We
have a few more surprises planned!
Enjoy the day with a whole crew of Pirates and
Mermaids!
So…April 6, 2019 - it’s a date, right?
