Fingerling Festival being held on June 19th
After having to cancel our iconic Festival in 2020 due to the global pandemic, we look forward to having our annual environmental celebration, the Fingerling Festival being held “Virtually” on Saturday, June19th, 2021.
We missed it so much in 2020, especially engaging with the community to celebrate the Hatchery’s work throughout the year, and to take part in the release of the juvenile salmon that we HAD to do something!
So this year, which happens to be our 29th Annual Fingerling Festival, we have moved the celebration online but with the help of community groups, we are keeping the excitement going and offering a fun, interactive, and educational experience. The festival is free to attend and will be held on Saturday, June 19th, from 1:30-2:30 PM.
