We’re thrilled to announce that the Yurok Salmon Festival, one of our favorite annual events, is scheduled for Saturday, August 15th!


This year, we celebrate 62 years of honoring Yurok culture, community, and, of course, salmon! The festival kicks off at 9:00 AM in front of the Yurok Tribal Headquarters at 190 Klamath Blvd. and wraps up at 3:00 PM.

Enjoy live music, participate in the family-friendly 5K run and walk (the Ney-Puey Run/Walk), experience cultural demonstrations, and explore a variety of activities for kids. Food vendors will offer delicious meals, and local artisans will have handmade goods for sale.

The Salmon Festival is a wonderful opportunity to savor good food, connect with others, and learn about the Yurok Tribe's culture and traditions.

It's striking that the festival has reached 62 years, which says a lot about how consistently the Yurok community has centered salmon in both celebration and identity. I'm curious how the event balances being a gathering for tribal members with welcoming outside visitors, especially given how much the salmon run itself has changed over those decades. Does the festival include any programming about the fish's ecological challenges, or is it mainly cultural and social?
