Mermaid Society SMTX
Logo for the Mermaid Society SMTX depicting the intersection of local culture, the arts and the San Marcos Springs & River at the edge of the hill country in San Marcos, TX.
"Mermaid Society SMTX and its spin-off efforts pay tribute to the history of the Aquarena Springs' Aquamaids -- San Marcos’ first “Mermaids." San Marcos is the only city in Texas that has a natural claim to the Mermaid. Her “unlikely presence” in the middle of Texas is part of her charm. The Mermaid associated with Mermaid Week SMTX is the guardian of our river and all its inhabitants. Her image is meant to serve as a symbol for our city to remind all to respect and protect the natural beauty and resources of our river for generations to come."
