The First Annual Portlandia Mermaid Parade is FREE grassroots artistic event aimed at celebrating intercultural mermaid/water and goddess mythology and our community connection to Portland's rivers, port history, as-well-as, environmental awareness. The name 'Portlandia' is in honor of the river goddess sculpture created by Raymond Kaskey, currently located above the entrance of the Portland Building located in downtown PDX. The Portlandia Mermaid Parade is also intended to celebrate the living culture of professional merfolk entertainers now thriving in Oregon and through out the NW who help bring the magic, mythology, of water myths to people everywhere. The Portlandia Mermaid Parade also recognizes the increasing struggle for creatives in the region to express their artistic ventures without the negative impacts of gentrification, and other limits placed upon them by the increasing for-profit culture. The parade is a revitalization of Portland's long artistic energy, and an opportunity for creatives to have a more public forum for fantasy based self-expression.
