Salmon Sessions Music Festival Fundraiser for the Little Campbell Salmon Hatchery

The Semiahmoo Fish & Game Club is home to the Little Campbell Salmon Hatchery. The not-for-profit society raises and releases over 100,000 salmon fry every year. The fish play an important role in the province’s food infrastructure.

Unfortunately, the hatchery requires urgent and costly reconstruction. Together with the help of the Penmar Community Arts Society, the Semiahmoo Fish & Game Club hosts the Salmon Sessions Music Festival. It’s a fundraiser for the hatchery and a fun celebration of local music.

The one-day festival took place in 2023 for the first time, and it’s happening again in the summer of 2024. The event features live rock, funk and country music by local bands on an outdoor stage. Everyone is encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs. There’s also a beverage garden with various beers, wines and non-alcoholic drinks. Food vendors are on site as well. Visitors are also able to tour the hatchery at the event and learn more about the importance of the river.

Event Ticket Details

Early-bird tickets in 2024 start at $30 for adults and $10 for children and youth ages 18 and younger. When making your purchase online, attendees are encouraged to add a donation to their ticket amount (for which they will receive a tax receipt). If you donate $20 or $30 per ticket, it brings the total to just $50 or $60, which is still a fabulous price for this sort of event.

Non-early-bird tickets in 2023 cost $40 for adults. Admission for teenagers last year cost $20 and children ages 12 and under got in for $10. Family passes were also available. They were $100 and included admission for two adults and up to three children. Regular ticket prices for 2024 closer to the festival date will likely be similar, but with exact details be confirmed.
