When the fall runs of salmon have begun to return and the warm summer air has turned crisp as leaves start their brilliant displays of color, the time has come for the Nisqually Watershed Festival! On the last Saturday in September, this celebration of community, culture, and history takes over Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge for a day full of family friendly fun. With the sun shining down on this year’s festivities, you’d be hard pressed to find a face without a smile or a lunch plate without a piece of barbecued salmon.
Free Parking & Shuttle at Hawks Prairie Park-n-Ride 2548 Hogum Bay Rd NE Olympia. Onsite Parking for Disabled Parking Permit Only.
An event every day that begins at 10:00 am, repeating until September 7, 2026
