Salmon Festival Oct. 11 - 12
The annual Salmon Festival takes place the weekend of October 11- 12 at Oxbow Park east of Gresham. The festival celebrates the return of the fall Chinook salmon to the Sandy River and inspires protection of native salmon and their habitat. Multnomah County is working to help restore salmon runs and the County's Land Use and Transportation Program will have a booth display at the festival showcasing our efforts to improve passage and habitat for migratory fish.
The festival runs from 10:30 am to 5 pm each day and includes displays, activities for kids and grown-ups, food booths, and entertainment. There are tented areas in case of rain. You should also be able to see returning salmon in the Sandy River.
Admission is $8 per vehicle.
