We are kicking off The California Mermaid Convention with with most beachy bash under the sea! Join us at the Dive Bar, where mermaids swim nightly in a 40 ft saltwater aquarium. The Dive Bar Mermaids are putting on a very special show just for you, featuring some surprise guests and performances along the way.
This year, we are returning to our roots with an aquatic fashion show, by Sea and By Stars. This fashion show is inspired by the timeless connection of our oceans and the cosmos. From the pull of the moon on the waves, to navigators exploring the oceans using constellations, these heavenly and aquatic bodies have forever been linked.
We can't wait to launch this convention in style!

By Sea and by Stars is a bi-elemental Fashion Show; combining a runway of air and water. Held at the world-famous Dive Bar in downtown Sacramento, CA, by Sea and by Sky is a sensory experience like no other.
The California Mermaid Convention invites fashion designers and makers to participate in this unique opportunity to showcase their creations on both a traditional stage and an aquatic one. The Dive Bar mermaids will be modeling all designs created for this show.

In 2014, The Mermaid Atlantis approached Dive Bar with the concept to create a SeaPunk Themed Fashion Show called By Land and by Sea. Her successful collaboration was one of the events that launched Mermaid Weekend in Sacramento, and helped to make The California Mermaid Convention what it is today! We pay homage to this wonderful, original show with our 2024 theme, taking it one step further, to the skies.
We absolutely love this video showcasing our 2024 Launch Party at Dive Bar, Sacramento!
