The Cuyahoga River Sturgeon Fest is a family-friendly event hosted by Cleveland Metroparks and the Ohio Division of Wildlife on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at Merwin's Wharf and Rivergate Park. The free event celebrates the historic stocking of 1,500 juvenile lake sturgeon into the Cuyahoga River to aid in its recovery. Attendees can participate in hands-on activities, see live animal displays, enjoy food and music, and may have the opportunity to release a sturgeon themselves.
