On the last Saturday of September, this celebration of community, culture, and history takes over Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge and brings with it an entire day of salmon, science, singing, and more! Now in its 36th year, the annual festival serves as a place to gather for all those who love the outdoors and wish to celebrate the unique wonders of the Nisqually Watershed. From archery to arts and crafts, from speakers and singers, this is a public event on public land set aside 51 years ago.
