American River Salmon Festival
The 10th Annual American River Salmon Festival starts tomorrow at Lake Natomas and the Nimbus Hatchery. Just east of downtown Sacramento, the event dates are October 14 and 15th. Each day, several events from 10am to 4pm will highlight several family-orientated programs to delight all salmon lovers. Barbecue, history, biology, live music, videos, guided rafting trips, Native American lore and more will offer a packed day of fun for anyone who enjoys the river and Salmon.
Over 400 volunteers and 100 sponsors have put this event together to help educate and foster partnerships with different agencies in California. The purpose of the event is to promote awareness, education, and appreciation of the American River Salmon.
The Salmon is a revered fish in the history of the American River. This fish has had more impact on the cultural and historical events in California than any other fish in the state.
There will be a special incentive for riding light rail. Take Regional Transit to the Light Rail Station at Hazel Ave and Folsom Blvd and receive a free shuttle to and back from the Festival. Come out for the Salmon Festival this weekend for a fun-filled river day!
