Oregon Wildlife Foundation Invites You to Celebrate Herman’s Birthday

June 22, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Free

Herman the Sturgeon is kind of a big deal in Oregon and we’re celebrating their birthday on Sunday, June 22, at Bonneville Fish Hatchery in the Columbia River Gorge! The festivities begin at 10 am and wrap around 2 pm.

This is an all-ages experience to celebrate the passing of another year in Herman’s long and storied life. Come join us to sing Happy Birthday, have a cupcake, join the scavenger hunt, and take an “ussie” with a legendary fish!

The Sturgeon Viewing and Interpretive Center is located at Bonneville Fish Hatchery, 70543 NE Herman Loop, in Cascade Locks. From I-84, take Exit 40 to Bonneville Dam/Fish Hatchery. Follow the signs to the hatchery and park in the parking lot. For more information on the Sturgeon Viewing and Interpretive Center, visit www.myodfw.com/bonneville-hatchery-visitors-guide.
