2026-10-07 08:30 - 16:30 | Tsútswecw Provincial Park, Squilax / Lee Creek area, near Chase, British Columbia, Canada.
Salute to the Sockeye is the large, once-every-four-years celebration of the dominant sockeye run at the Adams River. The event blends cultural ceremonies, interpretive programming, and a big artisan market to honour the salmon and local Indigenous traditions.
Key features to expect

Traditional welcomes and performances from Little Shuswap Lake Band and other local Secwépemc cultural programming.
