Fidalgo Bay Day

Join us in the 20th Anniversary of our FREE annual Fidalgo Bay Day event! Celebrate our local estuaries and their beauty, history, and wonderful marine life. Fidalgo Bay Day is a FREE educational community event that fosters public awareness and stewardship of the marine environment and presents a wonderful opportunity to strengthen partnerships with the local conservation community. There will be lots of indoor and outdoor activities to enjoy including live marine critters, interactive educational displays, kid friendly craft activities, games, prizes, complimentary samples of seafood from local businesses, and a wonderful no host salmon BBQ lunch. Take part in Samish Indian Nation’s popular beach seining demonstration, touch live marine critters in Shannon Point Marine Center’s undersea zoo, get creative at the kid friendly craft tables, play fun games, win prizes, and learn about local projects and volunteer opportunities at the many educational exhibits staffed by local agencies and organizations. In addition to all the fun activities, you can fill your appetite with a fabulous no-host traditional Coast Salish salmon BBQ lunch! You’ll also get to taste complimentary samples of oysters and mussels from Taylor Shellfish grilled to perfection by our volunteers and delicious chowder samples from Adrift and Bob’s Chowder Bar. 2024 Fidalgo Bay Day Event Organizers and Contributors: Skagit MRC, Samish Indian Nation, Friends of Skagit Beaches, Padilla Bay NERR, Skagit County Public Works/NRD, Salish Sea Stewards, Adrift, Bob's Chowder Bar, Taylor Shellfish, Anthony's at Cap Sante Marina, Secret Cove, and Skagit Soils.
