Sturgeon Fest 2025!

Presented by Lannon Stone and the Fund for Lake Michigan

Sponsor a baby sturgeon to hand-release at Sturgeon Fest, along with fun and educational nature activities with Riveredge Nature Center! Help us restore this amazing fish species to its native home. The Return the Sturgeon Project is a 25-year partnership between Riveredge Nature Center and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

Just remember to reserve your sturgeon online ahead of time, or we might be sold out by the time you get there. https://riveredgenaturecenter.org/program/sturgeon-fest/

While you're at it, check out Harbor Fest just next door--food, live music, vendors, games for kids, boats, and tours at the UWM School of Freshwater Sciences!

Thank you to our sponsors Kohler Company, the We Energies Foundation, and Wisconsin Coastal Management / NOAA.
