The Sturgeon Festival offers close encounters with lake sturgeon, the “Gentle Giants of the Great Lakes”. The festival features Huron Lady Sturgeon Cruises and indoor and outdoor displays with hands-on activities along the shores of the St. Clair River. Parking and admission are free. The event is Saturday beginning at 10AM at the Fort Gratiot Light Station. The Blue Water Sturgeon Festival is a partnership between natural resource agencies, businesses, industry, scientists, and anglers in order to highlight the ecosystem approach to managing native fish and wildlife populations in the St. Clair River and to increase threatened lake sturgeon populations to higher levels of abundance.
