GRAFTON – The Two Rivers Family Fishing Fair, traditionally held in June each year at Pere Marquette State Park, will be held Saturday, Oct. 2, 2021. The event was canceled in June 2020 due to health and safety concerns related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
For more than 30 years, the free Fishing Fair has been one of Pere Marquette’s most popular family events, featuring catch-and-release fishing, casting stations, fishing instruction, information, and entertainment.
