Sailstice for the Merfolk

THIS PAGE UPDATED JUNE 18, 2025

The entire aquatic community is invited to Sailstice again this year! Come swim with the cruisers listen and dance to great waterfront concerts.

Mers are invited to nearly everything. It really is great fun to swim with the cruisers, and the races we have on Sailstice Day June 21 are informal and fun events that don’t mind having some extra fins in the water! See the entire Sailstice schedule on this page, and you’ll see a MERFOLK TP link on many events!

On the EVENTS page you’ll see that the Festival of the Oceans Nautical Expo runs June 20 thru 27, so you can swim around the displayed boats. Malolo Island Marina has music and boat camping Friday through Monday June 20-22, so lots going on there too!

FIRST TIME THIS YEAR: A beautiful Mer grotto at the Festival of the Oceans with some mer-related exhibits nearby. LANDMARK

Once again is the fantastic Sails & Tails Party at Nantucket Park! It is the same time as last year, Saturday 1:30 to 3:30PM SLT. Each year the Nantucket Yacht Club sets out their big donut-shaped glass dance floor, and they build a beautiful coral reef underneath. There’s two hours of great music in an absolutely unique environment; it really is like nothing else in ANY world.

SUNDAY from 1:00 to 4:00 PM, experience the Mermaids of the Marianas Dance and Light Show Extravaganza! LANDMARK (everyone underwater)
