Salute to the Sockeye
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
Opening ceremonies and cultural events
Traditional welcomes and performances from Little Shuswap Lake Band and other local Secwépemc cultural programming.
Educational interpretive program
Fisheries and Oceans Canada delivers free school programs for Grades 2 to 5 during the event, with hands-on exhibits and guided walks. Teachers register directly with DFO.
Interpretive cabin and walkabouts
On-site cabin exhibits include life-size spawning displays, storyboards, interactive touch screens, and guided interpretive walks.
Artisan and souvenir markets
Local makers, First Nations artists, and food vendors offer crafts, art, and regional products across the site.
Visitor info and hours for Salute to the Sockeye
The festival generally opens around 8:30 AM and runs to roughly 4:30 PM on event days. Opening ceremony details list a Wednesday ceremony on October 7, 2026 while the full dates are confirmed closer to the event. Confirm times and any visitor requirements before you go.
Practical tips
Arrive early for quieter viewing and the best chance to join interpretive walks. Bring sturdy shoes for trails and layered clothing for variable mountain weather. Pack a small pouch for your phone to protect it from spray and mud. If you are coming with a school group, book the DFO interpretive program in advance.
Why it matters
This celebration connects community, culture, and conservation. It is a rare chance to see one of North America’s largest salmon returns and to learn directly from local stewards about salmon ecology and stewardship.
Confirm before you go
Schedules, registration details for school programs, and the final 2026 dates are posted by the Adams River Salmon Society. Check the Salute to the Sockeye event page for the latest updates.
