Every year those salmon return to Issaquah and every year Issaquah throws a party in October to celebrate that returning. They call it Salmon Days—what else? This weekend party attracts more than 150,000 visitors, who take part in the non-stop FREE activities. They kick it all off on Friday evening with a formal ball and dinner called, SalmonChanted Evening!

There’s a Grand Parade, featuring fabulous floats, clowns, bands, equestrian entries, school groups, dance teams, and more!

Stop by the Whirled of Food (no kidding) for some tasty treats from around the world, and of course Salmon.

The kids will love the Field of Fun: 2008 attractions include pony rides, puppet theater, rope-a-phobia, weird science experiments, the Kid's Stage, dressing up as animals, a Kid's Carnival, mini-trains, and more.

There are 4 stages of free, live music and fun (including the Kid’s stage) providing non- stop entertainment and fun. Flap your fins and whirl your partner to the sounds of rock and contemporary music, local talent, live broadcasts, puppetry, wizardry, and so much more!

More than 300 artists and craftspeople set up booths to display: fine art, pottery, clothing, jewelry, glass, metal, leather, wood, take-home specialty foods, toys, country crafts, and more. You are sure to find many unique handcrafted treasures to take home and enjoy. Plus, you can meet the artists personally.

So plan to be in Issaquah to welcome home the Salmon and join in the fun! Check the website for Festival and event times.
