Every fourth Saturday of September, the stretch of the Feather River between Historic Downtown Oroville and the Feather River Fish Hatchery bursts with fish-flavored activities during the Annual Salmon Festival, a day of fun, food, music and information.
From 10:00 am-4:00 PM, the fish hatchery celebrates the thousands of spawning salmon that annually make their way from the ocean back to Oroville. Environmental education, music, salmon tasting, tours of the processing plant, and kid's games and activities highlight this free event.
Also that day, Historical Downtown Oroville comes alive with a pancake breakfast, a certified farmer's market, live music, a craft fair, and clowns and rides for the kids. These events take place from 9:00 AM-4:00 PM.
Across from the hatchery at the Feather River Nature Center, guests can enjoy a continuation of the Maidu Salmon Ceremony with live dancing by local Native Americans.
A free shuttle to transport people between events is generally available from 10:00 AM-5:00 PM.
