LED Mermaid Glimmer Kid’s Show LIVE Online Friday July 10 2020

Here’s a glorious chance to see Mermaid Glimmer, played by Adafruit’s staff writer Erin St. Blaine, performing live online at the California Mermaid Convention! The show is Friday July 10 at 3pm PDT (that’s 12pm EDT for you east-coasters).

Tickets Available Now – Just $10 for a 30 minute kid’s show

Erin St Blaine, AKA Mermaid Glimmer, is the founder and owner of Fire Pixie Entertainment. She’s dedicated more than 15 years of her life to making kids laugh, smile, and believe in magic. Erin is an artist and maker, and the Mermaid Glimmer tail is a world-class marvel: it runs on a Circuit Playground Express and has over 180 NeoPixel lights onboard that change color and animate as she swims.

Mermaid Glimmer will sing and play her ukulele, tell stories, do magic tricks, and bring the world of mermaids and magic to life while encouraging creativity and a passion for science and nature. She’ll also do underwater tricks during her live show. Your kids will be glued to the screen.

While you’re at the convention, check out some of the other amazing Mermaid performers too! Mermaid Atlantis will be performing a giant bubble show, and Mermaid Nymphia, the Bay Area’s lovely and gorgeous Trans mermaid, will tell stories from her mermaid treasure grotto.

There’s a lot going on, and since it’s online, you can attend from anywhere in the world! Score.

We hope to see you all there. Please tell your friends! The more the merrier, and we Mermaids are so grateful for all your help and support during this challenging time.
