The Sirens Ball is a fundraiser gala to fund the Portlandia Mermaid Parade Festival in 2025. Raised monies from this event will go towards establishing a non-profit organizational structure for the Portlandia Mermaid Parade and will help produce a 3-day event that will include the Sirens Ball, the Portlandia Mermaid Parade and the Merfolk Confluence all in one weekend!
The merfolk confluence will include a large swim meet, panels, workshops, special guests, vendors and more. The purpose of this confluence is to provide greater opportunity for merfolk professionals and hobbyists alike to learn more about this amazing industry and to help strengthen this profession in a region which presents unique challenges. A key component of this confluence is also ensuring valuable workshops and trainings are accessible to a wider array of individuals, especially those with limited resources. The festival will also establish a clear link between mermaiding (be it hobby or professional) and environmental stewardship and will expand on opportunities for the community to take a more active role in water and ocean conservation through PNW community partners and advocates.
The Portlandia Mermaid Parade & Festival is also an annual keystone activity in the month of July supporting PDX S.P.L.A.S.H. month which stands for Stewardship, Preservation, Local, Arts, Sustainability & Heritage. Your ticket purchase to the Sirens Ball is helping us keep Portland Magical!
