Monday, July 6th - Saturday, July 11th, 2026 Pearl has it all in the depths of the ocean. As the youngest daughter of King Triton and Queen Scylla she should be perfectly content…. but she dreams about the surface world. She wonders what it would be like to walk on the land and be amongst its people. When she saves a young rock star from sleeping with the fishes, she realizes she will do whatever it takes to leave the underwater kingdom behind. When he parents tell her that she can’t go ashore, all hope seems lost…until she remembers that he Uncle Caliban used to tell her stories about walking on land. But King Triton banished Caliban from his underwater kingdom. Uncle Caliban and his gang of underwater henchmen agree to help Pearl, but only if she can get up on land and win the beach part dance competition. If she fails to win the competition and the heart of her rock star crush, she will turn into one of Caliban’s eels and live under his control forever!
