Join us on Saturday, May 23rd, from 12–3 PM at Yarmouth’s historic Sparhawk Mill for a community celebration of World Fish Migration Day. This biennial event brings together conservation groups, artists, and speakers for an afternoon of hands‑on learning and exploration focused on the Royal River.
This year’s celebration highlights the historic effort to remove the Elm and Bridge Street dams—an important step toward restoring a free‑flowing Royal River to Casco Bay for the first time in more than 300 years.
• Interactive activities for all ages led by local conservation organizations
• Guest Speakers from Yarmouth Town officials, Gulf of Maine Research Institute, American Rivers, and Yarmouth Community Alliance for Racial Equity (YCARE)
• Fly‑casting fishing demonstrations from Maine Fly Company
• The debut of Brickyard Hollow’s “Upstream” tribute beer, brewed to commemorate the dam removals
• Sparhawk Tavern Take-Out Lunch
• Opportunities to meet regional partners working to protect and restore the Royal River
Whether you’re passionate about river restoration, curious about local ecology, or simply looking for a fun community event, we’d love to have you join us!
