Herring Day returns on Thursday, April 23, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Herring Run at the Mashpee Wampanoag Indian Museum. This annual gathering welcomes Tribal families to come together and honor the return of the herring to their home waters — a time of year that carries deep cultural meaning and reminds us of our connection to the water, the seasons, and the life returning each spring.
This year’s event will include STEAM activities, lunch, social time, and songs and dances, along with opportunities to learn more about the herring, their migration, and their journey. Herring Day is always a chance to gather, learn, and spend time together as a community, and all Tribal families are welcome. For more information, call 508-477-0208 ext. 143.
