Merpeople made an onshore visit to the Portland waterfront on Saturday to honor drag icon Darcelle XV in the 7th annual Portlandia Mermaid Parade and Festival.
This year, the theme of the Mermaid Parade was drag. Many mermaids take a lot of inspiration from drag outfits and organizers wanted to honor the late Darcelle XV, a legendary Portland drag performer who died in March.

"Capricus," left, shows his steed, Pepe the King Prawn, to Dena Schofield, center, and her child at the Portlandia Mermaid Parade on July 29, 2023. Schofield said she put together the cart, umbrella and costumes all in the span of one night on a whim."
