The Issaquah Salmon Days Festival is Issaquah’s annual, family-oriented festival celebrating the return of the spawning salmon to our lakes, creeks and historic downtown hatchery each fall. It serves as the major annual fundraiser for the Issaquah Chamber of Commerce and provides for additional fundraising opportunities for local non-profit organizations, local businesses, overall general tourism and provides for enhanced community involvement and stewardship.
Free admission and special activities for children and families are what make the festival beloved by many and a yearly tradition. The overall goal of the festival is to provide an affordable, entertaining, educational, environmental and successful event for people of all ages, highlighting the unique focus and miracle of our community’s treasure… the returning salmon and our historic downtown hatchery.
