Every year, the greater Gig Harbor community celebrates the return of salmon to our local waters.
Every year, the greater Gig Harbor community celebrates the return of salmon to our local waters. The Chum Festival serves to remind us that the quality of our water, and the habitat it supports, connects us all. Join us as we recognize new ways to improve and protect our waterways. Our goal is to bring people together to promote sustainability, sound environmental stewardship, preservation of our maritime history and culture, responsible recreation, habitat preservation, and shoreline restoration -- one salmon at a time.
2016's 10th annual event will be Saturday, September 17 at Donkey Creek at the Harbor History Museum and Austin Estuary Park. Kayak, Canoe, and Paddle Board Races, Booths, Chum Burgers, Refreshments, "Paint Your Own Salmon" t-shirts, a "Salmon Maze", touch tanks, and story telling are just some of the activities that will be a part of the event again. Kayak, walk, bike or drive to the Park to enjoy the fun.
If you would like to join the group or reserve a booth contact Lindsey Johnson at Harbor WildWatch at 253-514-0187.
