About this event

  • 1 hour

From local swimming spot to roadside attraction to state park, the only constant throughout Weeki Wachee Springs over its 75 year history are 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!
