Sturgeon Protectors MKE will have a table with information.

Join us around 11:45 am at the sturgeon release site, to witness a traditional blessing to help honor the sturgeon’s role in our world and the connectedness between all life. Once the first sturgeon is released by dignitaries, the sturgeon release begins!

Besides releasing a sturgeon, you can also participate in family-friendly games, see live animals at education stations, try arts and crafts, and learn more about Riveredge Nature Center. Harbor Fest, also happens at the same site and time - check out all kinds of food trucks, beverages, kid activities, play areas, live music, dance performances, diverse vendors, and hands-on presentations at the STEM Stage inside the UW-Milwaukee School of Freshwater Sciences. This vibrant celebration of Milwaukee’s Harbor District is FREE to the public.
