Description
Head to Lakeshore State Park in downtown Milwaukee for the 12th annual Sturgeon Fest on September 30, 2017 to enjoy a day of free, family fun (and make a huge difference while doing it!).
The festivities continue all day with games and activities for kids, a Sturgeon Warrior obstacle course, a craft tent kayak demonstrations, prairie tours, educational booths, live performances,, delicious local food trucks, and more. The best part? For a $10 donation, you can hand-release a young sturgeon into Lake Michigan and be a hands-on part of bringing back this incredible species!
Sturgeon Fest celebrates Riveredge’s 25 year partnership with the Wisconsin DNR to bring back Lake Sturgeon, a critically important species both environmentally and culturally, to the Milwaukee River, where they haven’t been seen in over 100 years.
