Special Events

Unlike our public and school programs, Special Events only happen a few times a year. They are usually much larger in scale and showcase live animals and guest speakers. You don't want to miss these events. They are lots of fun for all ages. Check back often to catch our next Special Event!

The 10th Annual Lamprey Appreciation Day!

The Fishways is celebrating the 10th year of this one-of-a-kind event. The Milford Fife and Drum Corps will kick off the festivities at 10 am with a parade down the hill, followed by an opening ceremony with special guest 'General John Stark'. Then presentations will run every half hour featuring live sea lamprey- the oldest and coolest fish in the Merrimack River. Discover the fascinating life and history of this ‘sucker’ fish. Get sucked into the fun and hold a live, three-foot long sea lamprey! No registration required.
