About
Each year the Oroville Salmon Festival celebrates the return of the salmon to the Feather River. This family-friendly event always takes place on the fourth Saturday in September. This year it will be held on September 25.
This year's Salmon Festival has some extra additions for 2021 only. Due to COVID-19 restrictions in May, Oroville's annual Feather Fiesta Days had to be partially rescheduled. So, for this year only, the Salmon Festival is welcoming the rescheduled Parade, Car Show, and Lott Home Craft Faire.
