A brand new event in Port Lambton will highlight the beauty of the shores of the St. Clair River.
The first ever Mermaids and Mariners on the St. Clair is being held next month at Brander Park.
Organizer Sherri DeWolf said it’s a chance for people to come out and experience the scenic views of the river while having some fun.
“We find that we just really haven’t done enough to really recognize this beautiful area that we live in,” said DeWolf. “Through my business, Deeply Creative, I attended an event in Key West, Florida. I came back and thought ‘we don’t really do anything here to celebrate this gorgeous area that we live in’. I decided it was time to bring my beach bag of skills back to my hometown and here we are.”
DeWolf said the free family-friendly event takes place on Saturday, August 20 from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.
“We have over 50 vendors, artisans and makers,” she said. “They’ve been asked to complement the actual theme of the event by doing actual products that are nautically themed.”
There will also be food trucks, the Landshark Lager ‘watering hole’ grassy patio, and a ticketed event with Ariel from the Little Mermaid.
