"It’s Shark Week? Not here! No salt, no sharks, no problem," the Michigan Department of Natural Resources said on Facebook. "Jokes aside, we don’t have sharks — but we do have a large fish that’s just as cool (OK, maybe we’re a bit biased): the lake sturgeon. This week, it’s all sturgeon, all the time."

Discovery Channel’s “Shark Week” kicks off with a unique twist this year: “Dancing with Sharks.” Hosted by former “Dancing With the Stars” host Tom Bergeron, the show features scuba-diving shark handlers performing underwater dances with hammerhead sharks.

Shark Week 2025 officially kicks off on the Discovery Channel Sunday, July 20 at 8/7c and over the course of a week of special programming, 20 new releases will premiere on the popular network.

It's the time of the season—for Shark Week, that is. The sea creature will take the spotlight on the Discovery Channel July 20 through July 26, with incredible restaurant deals to celebrate the occasion.
