Laurel Dace Day is a conservation celebration and festival that raises awareness of a critically endangered fish found only on nearby Walden’s Ridge. On May 17, you can participate in the 5k Run or the Half Mile Fun Run to kick off our inaugural Laurel Dace Day, or just come join the celebration to support the Laurel Dace! There will be festivities for everyone to enjoy—a local farmer’s market, artisan vendors, music, food and drink options, activities with the Aquarium’s conservation scientists and educators, and much more—all open to the public!
