The New Brighton Business District Authority

is hosting an Earth Week Fishing Derby this spring from April 22 through April 25. The inaugural Derby will be a fully virtual event with participants posting pictures of themselves with their catches on the Business District Authority Facebook page.

The free event will highlight the beautiful waterfront parks in New Brighton where participants will find official measuring stations located in Big Rock Park and the New Brighton Fishing Park.

Prizes will be awarded to winners in each of three categories for two different age groups. Participants can win a prize for the biggest fish, most fish caught, and viewer’s choice.

Any business or individual interested in sponsorship opportunities for the event is asked to email nbbda@newbrightonpa.org.
