This event is now history, but we have many more wonderful programs in store for you!
Join us for Sturgeonfest 2025, where you will have the opportunity to:
When: October 18, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Where: The Seven Island State Bird Park Boat Ramp
Cost: Admission to this event is free. To participate in releasing a sturgeon into the water, each individual must reserve a complimentary ticket for a designated time slot. Tickets are required only for those releasing a sturgeon; other attendees may enjoy the event’s additional activities without a ticket. For example, in a group of four where only two children will release fish, only two tickets are needed. Please reserve tickets only if you are certain of attending and participating in the release. In the event that tickets are fully reserved, limited opportunities to release a sturgeon may be available on a first-come, first-served basis for unattended time slots.
Meeting Place: Seven Islands State Birding Park Boat Ramp
