As the iconic JJ’s Cantina closes temporarily to be reopened with a new history to be made,...

Can you believe we are nearing the end of the 9th season of the Mermaid’s Market? I thought...

In 2012, Russ and I attended the Blue and Arts Festival held in San Felipe, just across the Sea of Cortez. It was so much fun that we added it to our Peñasco Recreation List of Tours for 2013. We gathered a group of fun-loving travelers from Peñasco, and we headed off to the Blues Festival in March of 2013.

The Mermaid’s Market is in its 3rd year and has become known as a local marketplace to find unique and eclectic ‘mermaid treasures’…gifts, clothing, candy, home decor, paintings, photographs and much more. Each 1st and 3rd Saturday (during the months of October through April) you can find ‘mermaids’ selling their wares at the Shrimp Park in the center of Rocky Point.

On Saturday, April 18th, the Mermaid’s Market will be welcoming the Bayou Brothers to Puerto Peñasco as they introduce us to the great sounds of Cajun and Zydeco music! This will definitely be a highlight of this year’s Pirate and Mermaid Extravaganza!

Years ago, we were living in the throw-back little town of Ajo, Arizona. (Why we were living there is definitely a story for another day.) Anyhow, we had a “big city” event to attend…and of course, I had nothing to wear!
