Big Fish Fest 2.0

Join PRAx and OSU's Big Fish Lab for Big Fish Fest II, an event dedicated to celebrating some of the world’s most majestic ocean predators: sharks.

This unique event for all ages dives deep into the remarkable physiology of sharks, their relationship to the ecosystem, and the importance of protecting keystone species in our oceans. Appearing together on stage, acclaimed soul-funk band Outer Orbit and the Big Fish Lab weave an enthralling experience wherein the power of music joins the power of science.
