2019 Events
Salmonfest
August 2-4, 2019 — NinilchIk, Ak
Salmonfest has become widely recognized both nationally and within the state as the most compelling and dynamic event in Alaska. Every year more than 8,000 people turn the Kenai Peninsula village of Ninilchik into a small city as families and friends fill the region with fish, love, and music. The three day weekend includes over 60 bands performing across four stages, Alaska’s top food, art and brews, as well as a science symposium, and daily children’s program. While the majority of attendees come for the music, fun, and friends, the underlying rallying cry is for salmon and the waters and wilds that sustain the precious species. It’s a priority for Salmonfest to distribute proceeds each year in an effort to keep conservation work going. Contributions of over $35,000 are delivered each year to an array of organizations on the front lines of the struggle to preserve and protect Alaskan salmon.
