The Wenatchee River Salmon Festival is hosted by the Leavenworth National Fish
Hatchery and the Okanogan and Wenatchee National Forest, with the help of other
"spawnsors" and boosters.
The Wenatchee River Salmon Festival is held on the beautiful grounds of the
Leavenworth National Fish Hatchery, nestled in the heart of the rugged North
Cascade Mountains of Washington State. Wedge and Sleeping Lady Mountains provide
a scenic backdrop for the returning salmon as they come home to spawn in the
Wenatchee River and Icicle Creek. Nearby is the colorful Bavarian-themed village
of Leavenworth. Only 120 miles east of Puget Sound on U.S. Highway 2,
Leavenworth hosts visitors from around the world.
Once you're in Leavenworth...
Look for the Icicle Road at the west end of town just before entering Tumwater
Canyon.
Follow the Icicle Road south just two miles.
Find the Salmon Festival signs and follow them on East Leavenworth Rd. about 1/4
mile.
Park free in the Fish Hatchery parking lot.
