The Friends of the St. Clair River are offering an opportunity to view August’s full moon from the top of the Ft. Gratiot Light House. The inaugural Sturgeon Full Moon Lighthouse Climb is scheduled for Sunday, August 22nd from 6 – 10 PM.
The August full moon is referred to as the Sturgeon moon because Indigenous communities knew how plentiful the sturgeon were during its arrival.
The Sturgeon Full Moon Lighthouse Climb includes the lighthouse climb, food vendors, music, special performances, and fireside chats with stargazing and storytelling.
Tickets are $20 for those 12 years old and up and kids ages 4 – 12 are $10. Children 3 and under are free.
The Yak-Abouts kayak group is planning a full moon paddle from Lighthouse Beach and participants are welcome to join them.
