Event Description:
Could you ever imagine our beautiful Skagit County without the Skagit River? It’s almost impossible to do. 

The Skagit touches just about everyone who lives here. The quality of life we enjoy comes from the Skagit River—electricity for our homes and businesses, quality water to drink and irrigate our crops, livelihoods for our fishermen, and a place for our families to play, picnic, camp and hike.
  • Youth Activities and Crafts
  • Conservation Education Booths featuring the Super Skagit River Passport raffle drawing
  • Live Music and Cultural Opportunities
  • Great food and local arts and crafts for sale
  • Beer & Wine Garden
  • Fundraising Raffle
  • Ray Reep Salmon Derby
  • And more!
Through the day’s events and activities, participants will come away with a greater understanding and appreciation of our Skagit River, our salmon resources, and the many communities it sustains.
 
We have a great lineup of musical entertainment on the main stage, and this year we’ve added a second stage for lower-key music for you to enjoy throughout the day.
 
From Native flute music and storytelling to the jazzy world sound of Rivertalk mixed in with some country rock tunes from Trainwreck—we have something for everyone's musical taste and interest, including:
 
 
 
 
  • Blessing of the Salmon and Native American Dancing by the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community
  • Toby Peck  (acoustic guitar)
  • Trainwreck (Country Rock)
  • Trish, Hans & Phil (Jazz)
  • Rivertalk (Brassy World Beat Dance Music)  
  • Dmitri Wagoner (Electric Blues)
