Copper River Wild Salmon Festival

From Copper River Wild Salmon Festival Website:

Salmon Festival is an annual cultural event that benefits the residents and visitors of Cordova and helps to make our community a place where people want to live year-round. Not only do patrons enjoy the activities and guest musicians during Salmon Festival weekend, but Salmon Jam Music Festival is the annual fundraiser for Cordova Arts Council and proceeds from Salmon Jam help support year-round cultural activities in Cordova. In the past year, these funds have offset the costs of hosting amazing musicians and events like BeauSoleil, John Lilly, and Cirque du Cordova! A core of community-partners meet year-round to plan and organize this event, which celebrates the wild Alaska salmon that are key to the diverse lifestyles of the Copper River region; and for two days a year an army of volunteers come together to make it happen!
