Mermaid Zone
Mermaids are mythological creatures, appearing in folklore across the globe for thousands of years. One of the oldest and most well-known myths comes from Ancient Greece. A popular legend claimed that Alexander the Great's sister, Thessalonike, turned into a Mermaid upon her death and lived in the Aegean.
Sarasota has Mermaid culture that weaves in and out of the society pages. From the Sarasota Chalk Festival mermaids appearing in the festival in 2011, 2012, and 2020 to the Sarasota Film Festival in 2019 and Mermaid events and costumes. Mermaids fascinate spectators.
