Chum Fest!

About this event

Every year, the greater Gig Harbor community celebrates the return of salmon to our local waters. The Donkey Creek Chum Festival serves to remind us that the quality of our water, and the habitat it supports, connects us all.

Participants will start their walk at Austin Park along Harborview Drive where they will receive a Salmon Passport. They will visit booths with activities and information for kids and adults along the trail through txʷaalqəł Estuary, behind (and in) the Harbor History Museum, and ending in Donkey Creek Park. Completed passports should be turned in to the front desk at the Harbor History Museum by 2pm on the day of the event to be entered into a drawing for a salmon-themed prize.
