Thank you for your interest in the upcoming Bear Creek Salmon Festival at North Mountain Park.
This admission-free festival will feature all-ages interactive workshops and exhibits focusing on improving salmon habitat in our region and on watershed stewardship in our own homes and yards.
This year's theme is "Stewardship Flows Downhill" Participants can
experience a variety of fun outdoor activities such as fly or spin-casting and Native American drumming and story-telling.
Live entertainment will take place throughout the day as well as a food concession provided by Sultan's Delight.
Exhibitors are asked to help make the Bear Creek Salmon Festival a Zero Waste event (see suggestions below). You will be notified by mid September if you have been accepted as an exhibitor.
Application deadline: Monday, August 31 —4:30pm.
Exhibit space is free.
Set-up will begin at 9:30am and must be completed by 10:30am. Volunteers will be available to help with set-up.
Exhibitors' vehicles are not permitted to enter the park without prior approval. Temporarily park near the Nature Center to offload your exhibit.
Volunteers will direct you to your space and assist with carrying/carting display materials. Special arrangements will be made for exhibits that are exceptionally heavy
or large.
Parking: Once you have off-loaded your exhibit, park on streets outside the park.
