Our 2021 Convention is July 9th - 11th
River Clean Up
Become a True Mermaid by Cleaning Our Waterways
Join the American River Parkway Foundation as we become true stewards of the aquatic environment! Convention attendees will gather on the rivers of Sacramento to gather trash, tidy the beach and assist in tangible ecological activism!
Trash will be gathered and weighed after an hour and a half of cleaning time; whoever gathers the most trash will win a one of a kind Mermaid Crown from Mermaid and Mom!
If you are too far to travel to our Sacramento Clean Up, you can participate digitally by cleaning your own neighborhood or waterways! Simply clean during 2 PM - 4 PM PST and post a photo with the hashtag #CMCCleanup2021. We will enter our digital participates into an online raffle on Monday, July 12th for some fun mermaid prizes.
Cleaning the waterways has always been a huge part of The California Mermaid Convention and we are so proud to continue this tradition every year. Please help us become true stewards and guardians of the waterways of California.
