Learn about one of the most amazing 1960s roadside attractions in mermaid history.

Experience Aquarama and 1960s mermaid attractions through vintage photos and film and material gathered from interviews with Aquarama’s head Aquamaid and the son of Aquarama’s founders. Very special guest Marina the Fire Eating Mermaid will end the session with a Q & A and mermaid show-and-tell. Hosted by Vintage Roadside. 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM, Friday August 20th Location: Grand Hanalei Ballroom, Crowne Plaza
