PNW Mermaid Confluence 2025

The PNW Mermaid Confluence is part of the Portlandia Mermaid Parade and Festival, and is an all-ages, one-day mermaid convention for mermaid enthusiasts, hobbyists and professionals alike. This event features open swim activities, mermaid swim coaching, workshops, panel speakers, vendors and more.

The confluence will explore topics unique to mermaiding in the PNW, in addition to offering panels and workshops on merfolk fantasy and folklore, water healing and spiritual practices, professional mermaiding, and other topics of interest.

The PNW Mermaid Confluence is an intentional event which also builds a bridge between the world of mermaiding and environmental stewardship and advocacy of the world’s most sacred resource, water.
