SoCal Mermaid Convention ~ Kelpstock 2017

[Mermaid Wesley]

What does the west coast have? Sun, sand, surf, and coming June 2017, an all new Mermaid Convention!

Kelpstock is an mermaid expo starting up in sunny Southern California. It will encompass mermaids, swimming, modeling, and much more.
One of our very special guests that we have lined up for you is the one and only: Thom Shouse! The artist behind “Splash!” and many other on screen mermaids. Some may even say that he started the whole mermaid movement! We have waves of other amazing activities scheduled for those who attend: exhibit hall, panels, swim meet-ups, mermaids, and much more!!

Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter and Instagram @Kelpstock for updates, exclusives and more!


We hope to see you there!

Mermaid Wesley and Team Kelpstock

We know the feeling! There hasn't really been a big convention on the west coast yet, and one of the driving ideas behind this was to make Mermaiding more accessible to more people, introducing it to the public a bit more, and, of course, giving western mermaids a bit more access to a con!

And the So Cali has great weather, how could we not make it a thing!

[Calizaire]

It'd be practically criminal if we didn't use our beautiful beaches!!

[malinghi]

Calizaire, which beach is that? It looks amazing!

Sunset Cliffs! San Diego. One of my faves. My avatar pic was taken there.

[Grey Gambit]

Oh dang, I'll have to keep my fingers crossed I can go to this. It's so much closer than the other cons!

Oh, I'm glad my brain finally engaged and realized we're talking about 2017! No way I could have made a trip in June 2016. But next year? Heck yeah! I'm in!

[Ashton]

yes we didn't want it to seem last minute for people, that is why it is 2017 not this year. Plus it gives people time to save money and for us to plan some pretty epic things for you!

I'm so glad to see this in the works. My boyfriend, thinks I'm a bit loopy since I printed out the kelpstock image to hang next to my mer-gear. But what a better way to stay excited for it right?
