Salmon Festival at Oxbow Regional Park October 13, 2007

For thousands of years, fall Chinook salmon have struggled upstream from the Pacific Ocean to return to their birthplace in the Sandy River Gorge and give life to the next generation. This epic journey is both legend and science, tied to the past, present and future of this region by culture, biology, art and economy. The annual Salmon Festival at Oxbow Regional Park celebrates this special connection between people and wild salmon and inspires us to value clean water and healthy watersheds.

The Salmon Festival offers interactive cultural exhibits, salmon walks, engaging activities for children, arts and crafts demonstrations, music and storytelling, horse-drawn wagon rides, ancient forest hikes, a salmon barbecue and a food court. Don’t be afraid of those clouds – the festival is “weatherized” with entertainment, exhibits, children’s activities and food areas under cover.

Entry fee is $8 per vehicle or $12 per bus
Pets are not allowed
