Bald Eagle Watching Days returns to Sauk Prairie Saturday, January 17, 2026 with a full day of eagle-focused programs, activities, and viewing opportunities along the Wisconsin River.

All events are free and open to the public, but passes are required. Tickets can be picked up the day of the event at the River Arts Center ticket booth.
This long-running community event is organized with support from the Ferry Bluff Eagle Council, whose work focuses on raptor education and conservation. A full schedule and additional details are available through their website. Click here.
