Sturgeon Fest 2025
September 11, 2025
Sturgeon, hatched from eggs gathered in spawning areas along the Wolf River, will be tagged and released into Lake Michigan at the mouth of the Milwaukee River on Sunday, Sept. 28.
This sturgeon release event is hosted by the Riveredge Nature Center that powers the Milwaukee River Lake Sturgeon Rehabilitation Program. The program began in 2006 in partnership with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Anyone can sponsor a sturgeon and receive updates about the path it takes. Learn more here.
Culturally significant and a food source to the historic regions’ Indigenous people, sturgeon were almost regionally extinct from the Milwaukee River. The population fell to less than one percent, due to overfishing, pollution, habitat loss, and poaching. Sturgeon is one of the most important legacies we leave our children, who in turn will leave it for their children.
The Sept. 28 event is possible thanks to the work of year-long volunteers and the DNR. An event like Sturgeon Fest shows, not only that sturgeon are returning, but that we are revitalizing our culture and honoring ancestors.
Make it a full, fun day with the family. Details at https://riveredgenaturecenter.org/program/sturgeon-fest/
