Volunteer for the Mermaid Capital of Texas Fest
There’s something special about San Marcos — the river that runs through it, the people who call it home, and the stories we tell when we come together.
This spring, our city transforms into a whimsical world of river guardians, mermaids, music, and joy. But the true magic? It comes from YOU!
We’re looking for volunteers with big hearts, bright spirits, and a love for community to help bring the 8th Annual Mermaid Capital of Texas Fest to life!
What you’ll get:
A front-row seat to one of the most joyful events in San Marcos
A chance to meet incredible folks who care about this place
A cool Mermaid Fest volunteer tee
Community service hours
And the feel-good vibe of doing something beautiful for your city
Whether you're helping little ones with crafts, guiding guests at the parade, or passing out water to keep everyone cool — YOU are part of something bigger: A celebration of culture, creativity, and the soul of our river city.
If your heart’s saying “yes,” we’d love to have you in our volunteer family.
Let’s make waves — together!
With river love,
The Mermaid Society of Texas
