## Seward Mermaid Festival
May 15th & 16th
The Seward Mermaid Festival was created by local businesses and citizens in partnership with the Seward Harbor Opening Weekend, to celebrate rejuvenation, develop a creative community impact, and encourage local entrepreneurship.
The mermaid theme was chosen to represent our community's symbiotic relationship with the seas, oceans, and waterways that we hold so close to our hearts. Additionally, her attributes and qualities are ones that we feel everyone in Seward strives toward: Strength, Ingenuity & Expression Of Self.

The campgrounds have a lake to kayak on and should have Kayak rentals on site. Campsites are $20 a day and you must get there and find a camp site then pay. If you know you're coming and need me to find you one, please get me the money and I will grab your site before you arrive!

The result was a self-titled debut EP followed by singles “Rescue Me” and “Forgot Your Roots,” the latter of which saw the band gain their first bit of online momentum, leading to explosive growth in the past 3 months.
