Greenhorns and Downeast Salmon Federation are pleased to announce For All the Fish, a free conference and concert taking place on Sunday, May 31, 2026, featuring Maine-based headliner The Mallett Brothers Band.
For All the Fish celebrates Downeast Maine’s extraordinary coastal ecosystem and the communities whose lives and livelihoods are deeply connected to its waters.

The day will begin with a teach-in conference at the Downeast Salmon Federation’s hatchery in East Machias from 9:00a-1:00p (RSVP required, with a Zoom option available). The conference will feature a dynamic program of speakers, films, a hatchery tour, and a fish chowder lunch. Topics will include river and habitat restoration, updates from the Passamaquoddy environmental program, outcomes from dam removal efforts in neighboring watersheds, and the impacts of industrial salmon farming on wild fish recovery.

That evening, the event continues with a free concert at Bad Little Falls Park in Machias from 4:00p-7:00p, featuring performances by The Midnight Riders, and The Milk & Honey Rebellion, with The Mallett Brothers Band headlining.

The event will also feature interactive displays and exhibits from local partners, including youth artwork and educational installations created through collaborations with the Artist Rapid Response Team (ARRT!), as well as exhibits from OceansWide, Turtle Dance Art Coop, the Jonesport Sardine Museum, and the Downeast National Heritage Area, among others.

Presented by Greenhorns and Downeast Salmon Federation, For All the Fish is part of a broader, season-long educational series featuring speakers and experts dedicated to increasing public understanding of ocean policy and fostering community engagement in shaping the future of Maine’s marine resources. All are invited to attend and celebrate what makes Downeast Maine unique, while learning more about the importance of protecting its waters for future generations.
