Festival Information
In an effort to continue to grow the festival and increase our support to other areas of Bell County, Sirena Fest will be moving to Belton! While we love scenic Pace Park in Salado, we are so excited to be spreading out in Belton’s downtown square. Belton City Officials and the Belton Chamber of Commerce have been terrific to work with, and we are looking forward to putting on another amazing event with their support.
Unfortunately, the change of location means that the next festival will not take place until 2025. We want to make sure to bring you the kind of quality mermaid festival that you have come to expect from us, so we are giving ourselves ample time to plan for the changes and challenges a new venue will bring.
Vendor registration will open in late April/ early May of 2024 for the next Sirena Fest which will take place April 26, 2025. We thank you all for your support and can’t wait to party like a mermaid with you in 2025!

About.
Who is Sirena?
The legend of Sirena is one told by many cultures to include the Chamorro culture of Guam, the Filipino culture, and even the Tonkawa who once lived in the Central Texas Area. According to the Tonkawa Legend, Sirena was tricked into becoming a mermaid by a magical catfish in return for helping her win the heart of a warrior. Today, you can view a beautiful bronze sculpture of Sirena mermaid at Sirena Park in Salado, TX. Sirena 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. |
