Yurok Tribe’s Annual Salmon Festival Is Saturday

By Newsroom

The Yurok Tribe’s 56th Annual Klamath Salmon Festival is happening on Saturday, August 18. In 2016 and 2017, the Tribe could not in good conscious serve Klamath salmon at the festival because the fish runs were so low. During those years, the Klamath fish population plummeted as a result of juvenile salmon disease outbreaks, excessive water diversions and water quality issues caused by the lower four Klamath dams. This year’s salmon celebration is free to attend and will feature a host of activities including a parade, obstacle course and fun zone for kids, multiple cultural demonstrations, 9th Annual Classic Car Show, 3 on 3 basketball tournament and much more.
