The Mermaids of New Orleans
But most people don't know,
that deep beneath the river is a mermaid city.
Where an underwater world exists
that's lively, and merry, and pretty.
New Orleans mermaids are much
like their human relations,
with their own traditions,
and music, and celebrations.
The Mermaids of New Orleans tells the story of the mermaids who reside in the Mississippi River, surrounding the Big Easy. These citizens of the sea are much like their land counterparts, culturally and ethnically. Many New Orleans mermaids play in bass bands, eat roeballs in the summer, live in narrow trident houses, and have their own parades (with floats that really float!). And true to mermaid lore, the mermaids are allowed on land one day a year. New Orleans mermaids, of course, choose Mardi Gras, where they can blend in with the vibrant and decorative costumes.
