Events Description
It’s Spring! The first of the salmon are returning for the season, and so is the Cannery’s annual Spring Break Salmon Run challenge!
Every year, Pacific salmon brave the challenges of the West Coast’s waters to return to the homes where they were born, where they will lay eggs of their own and restart the salmon lifecycle. From March 14th-29th, experience the salmon’s annual journey for yourself! Using our exclusive self-guided activity booklet, complete your own salmon run through the Cannery as you face a series of salmon run-themed activities and challenges, and return triumphant to your home stream!
Complete all of the activity book’s challenges to receive an exclusive salmon life cycle-themed prize! Spring Break Salmon Run booklets will be available at the Cannery’s Front Desk between March 14th-29th, 2026.
