Sturgeon Fest

Celebrate Sturgeon Fest with Riveredge!

Join Riveredge Nature Center on Sept. 27th at Lakeshore State Park, downtown Milwaukee, to celebrate the ‘Return of the Sturgeon’ Project at the free, family festival – Sturgeon Fest!

The festival includes:

• Hands on activities for kids of all ages
• Adult educational stations
• Scavenger hunt
• Bouncy house obstacle course for the kids
• Information booths from many of local environmental organizations
• Local food carts
• And, of course, the baby sturgeon release!  A suggested donation to the “Return the Sturgeon” restoration project allows you to release a baby sturgeon into Lake Michigan.
• In addition to hand releasing a sturgeon, sponsors receive a certificate, magnet, and an opportunity to register one of the sturgeon – all the sturgeon are tagged (similar to how pets are micro chipped).  If a sturgeon is every captured with your tag number, you’ll be notified!
• This is a family event with children and adult activities, educational displays, and much more!  Food will be available for purchase throughout the event.
