56th Klamath Salmon Festival

From 56th Klamath Salmon Festival Website:

The Yurok Tribe's annual Klamath Salmon Festival begins with the Veteran's breakfast (free for veterans), held at the Klamath Community Center on Salmon Blvd, at 8:00am. The free 4th Annual Ney' Puey 5K Run begins at 9;00am (sign up for the run begins at 8:00am). There will be a parade after the breakfast at 10:00am. Enjoy a salmon dinner cooked in a traditional Yurok way. This is a family-friendly, free festival. Attendees will also enjoy watching the highly competitive Stick Game Tournament. (The Stick Game is played by all local tribes and is a full-contact sport that resembles lacrosse with a wrestling element. The game is heavy on action.) There will also be an Indian Card Games Tournament and a number of cultural demonstrations in a new area designated solely for cultural activities. There will be various contests throughout the day, along with an array of kids' activities and vendors. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the Yurok Tribe, the largest tribe in California, their culture and the Klamath River. Festival parking is off the Terwer Valley exit on Highway 101; shuttles will ferry attendees to the festival.
