Festival of the st̓əč̓as
We are thrilled to celebrate the cultural & ecological restoration of the Deschutes estuary and the upcoming removal of the 5th Avenue dam. We are also celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Judge Boldt Decision, which reaffirms Washington state tribal treaty rights by securing an equal share of salmon and co-management of this and other vital resources.
Go with the flow – free the Deschutes!
5:30 p.m. Healing of the Waters Ceremony
5th Avenue Dam
Bring a Water Bottle
We are working to make this an environmentally friendly festival. That means water bottles will not be available. Instead, we will be supplying water stations sourced from the artesian well in downtown Olympia. Limited reusable water bottles will be available for use, so please bring a water bottle!
Sort Your Trash Properly
Trash, recycling, and compost will be available in Heritage Park. Please be sure to put your waste in the correct receptacles! Improper recycling and composting will force us to divert all contaminated waste to the trash.
