"A giant Thank You to all the volunteers and supporters of this year's Salmon Fest! We couldn't do it without you!"
See you at the 2009 Wenatchee River Salmon Festival!
Join us for a return of the salmon education and adventure celebration.
Set in the pristine majesty of the Cascade Mountains, Salmon Fest is an outdoor education adventure you will not want to miss.
Connect your family to nature in a fun and entertaining way. Soak up the beauty under a canopy of beautiful fall colors and evergreens. Enjoy learning about our natural resources and the incredible environment in which we live.
There is fun for all ages and it's FREE. Come and take part in the many inter-generational hands-on activities, interactive exhibits, wildlife "edu-tainment", music, art, and experience a meaningful cultural exchange with Native Americans in their encampment.
Bring your family and friends or come join us as a sponsor or volunteer and learn about one of the most fascinating creatures on earth, the salmon. This 18th anniversary will be one to remember with new festival activities, live animals, and fun filled entertainment!
