SalmonAid Festival
The second SalmonAid will be held this year on Saturday, June 20 and Sunday, June 21 - the festival will celebrate wild salmon and steelhead with a free, family-friendly, music festival in Oakland's famed Jack London Square.
Organized by the largest ever coalition of West Coast salmon advocates (including commercial, recreational and tribal fishermen, conservation organizations, chefs, restaurants, scientists, and many others), SalmonAid will raise awareness of the plight of west coast salmon populations, the rivers and streams they spawn in, and the many coastal and inland communities that rely on salmon for their livelihoods and survival. The festival will feature educational booths, activities and foods highlighting the natural history of salmon, as well as the history, culture and traditions of salmon towns and the peoples connected through our west coast salmon heritage There will be two days of salmon barbeques, live music (20 bands on 2 stages), a gourmet food court and beer garden, and information booths by salmon protection organizations, including the Alameda Creek Alliance. Best of all, there is no admission fee! http://www.salmonaid.org
