The 2022 festival portion of this popular event was held at the Harbour Quay after a 2 year stand down due to Covid-19. Prior to 2022, the annual Port Alberni Salmon Festival was held at the Tyee Landing from 2017 - 2019. Before moving in 2017, the festival portion was located at Clutesi Haven.

While fishermen are out in the canal competing in the fishing derby to catch the largest Salmon, the festival is in full swing on dry land. The official start of the derby and festival is the ringing of the bell, followed with a spectacular show of fireworks over the inner harbour. Live music featuring many local and B.C.  musical acts keep the place dancing from early day to past sunset.

Fireworks at any event are always a crowd pleaser, and the Salmon Festival fireworks are no exception. Held annually during Labour Day, the classic festival is always kicked off with a fireworks display over looking the Harbour Quay.  What's best is that if you are already on or near the festival location, you already have the best seats for the fireworks!

Live music at the Alberni Valley Salmon Festival is one of several highlights. It's the closest thing you'll get to a street party without having to shut down any streets! Over looking the Alberni Inlet, the Harbour Quay, and the Tyee Landing, the atmosphere and electricity are second to none!
