Festival Information

The 2022 Sirena's Creekside Carnaval was an absolutely fantastic event that allowed Legacy Salado Inc. to donate more than $18,000 to help fund the all-abilities playground that will be located in Pace Park in Salado, TX. 

At this time, we are currently working on plans for the 2023 Carnaval. Check back often as we put out new updates about this year's event.

Who is Sirena?

The Tonkawa Legend of Sirena is a story that is near and dear to the residents of Salado. According to the legend, Sirena was tricked into becoming a mermaid by a magical catfish in return for helping her win the heart of a warrior.

The bronze sculpture of the mermaid that currently resides at Sirena Park was the creation of local artist, Troy Kelley, in 1986. The inspiration for his creation of Sirena came from his grandmother who told him of the Native American legend as a young child.
