Every year, the greater Gig Harbor community celebrates the return of salmon to our local waters. The Annual Chum Walk serves to remind us that the quality of our water, and the habitat it supports, connects us all. Booths line the pathway along the estuary and creek, with information and activities for all ages to learn about our local salmon.
This year’s Chum Walk will take place on:
Saturday, November 23, 2024
11-2pm starting at Austin Park at txʷaalqəł Estuary and ending at Donkey Creek Park.
Our goal is to bring people together to promote sustainability, sound environmental stewardship, preservation of our maritime history and culture, responsible recreation, habitat preservation, and shoreline restoration — one salmon at a time. Join us as we recognize new ways to improve and protect our waterways!
