Program Description

Event Details

From local swimming spot to roadside attraction to state park, the only constant at Weeki Wachee Springs over its 75 year history is the mermaid performances. Join Rebecca Schwandt, historian and archivist, for a “deep dive” into the springs’ past. Entertaining audiences since 1947, this unique roadside attraction has a natural spring with water at a constant temperature of 72-74 degrees. That’s refreshing!
