It was a celebration — the christening of the new Ivar’s Mermaid Patio — marking the beginning of many Mermaid moments to come. On Thursday, members of the community turned out for the first ever Mermaid Capital of Texas Fest — Pep Rally at Ivar’s River Pub. Attendees celebrated the upcoming festival and San Marcos's designation as the Mermaid Capital of Texas.
“It’s been a long time coming,” July Moreno, Mermaid Society SMTX founder said of the designation. “We started this process in 2017 — officially.”
The Mermaid Patio features a mural and a giant vinyl poster by artist Kyle Range, who used to work at Ivar’s.
