***New Date**** Due to weather predictions, we have made the decision to postpone the performance of Little Mermen from this Saturday, March 30, 2024 to August 17, 2024. Although we are a rain or shine venue, considering the significant number of young community members attending and the weather forecast,  postponing the event is in the best interest of everyone’s safety and enjoyment.

Ticket holders will receive an email from artpower@ucsd.edu with full details and options.

“…An enchanting evening!”—Time Out Magazine

The Little Mermen are the ultimate Disney tribute concert for Disney fanatics of all ages. The band’s repertoire covers nearly a century of musical canon, including favorites from The Little Mermaid, Mary Poppins, Frozen and Encanto. The group performs in full costume with band members dressing up as characters from the films. They tour nationally, having recently shared festival stages with Stevie Nicks, Green Day and Joan Jett. The Little Mermen invite you to be their guest for a magical experience jam-packed with nostalgic fun & rockin’ sing-alongs!
