FESTIVAL MISSION The mission of the Festival is to help people who live and work in the Stillaguamish Watershed and surrounding regions understand how their actions can help make their environment cleaner for people, fish, and wildlife. The Tribe recorded at least 11, 000 attendees at the 2008 Festival of the River. Over 28 states were represented, but the majority of festival-goers were from northern Snohomish County.
The Stillaguamish Festival of the River is a fun way to celebrate summer and the Pacific Northwest environment. Regional citizens and visitors share their experiences and learn from others about water quality, salmon habitat, and the watershed. And if you don't know what a watershed is, we'll teach you! This year we feature a giant storytelling turtle tent, interpretive salmon habitat tours, arts and craft vendors, a scrumptious salmon steakbarbecue prepared by the Stillaguamish Tribe, and a variety of live music.
