Citrus County, including famous mermaid aficionado, to hold Pride Family Fest

Unity of Citrus County is sponsoring the second annual “Pride Family Fest” this weekend.

It’s happening on Saturday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. p.m. at 2628 Woodview Lane in Lecanto. They’re promising raffles, food, vendors, dancing, fun and activities for kids.

One of the vendors at the event will be Eric Ducharme, co-owner of Mertailor Mermaid Aquarium.

Ducharme performed as a merman at the famous mermaid shows in Weeki Wachee. Then he launched his own business, making mermaid-inspiring clothing. The aquarium now offers people an opportunity to swim with mermaids.

Ducharme is excited about this weekend’s fest.

“It’s an awesome event where people can come and have a safe space and just celebrate their lives and be part of the community,” Ducharme said.

Entry to “Pride Family Fest” costs $7.
