Put on your dancin’ shoes!
An authentic Alaska community, the surprisingly artsy, coastal town of Cordova lives and breathes fishing. Every July, through this family-friendly festival, local nonprofits and loads of volunteers come together to raise awareness of the regions rich resources and raise funds to support art opportunities with 2 days of live music, a wild food sampler, running events and kids activities. This year we will be bringing back the beer garden. There’s also an artisan craft fair and lots of fun for all ages at Cordova’s beautiful Mt. Eyak Ski Area.
Each day will offer hours of live music, highlighting local musicians such as Keys on Fire, Repeat Offenders and also featuring our guest artist Wasabi Black.
By purchasing a ticket, you are supporting the performers and Cordova’s arts council: Cordova Arts & Pageants, which brings artists from all over the world to perform for the community of Cordova and share their art in the schools all year long.
This event will occur rain or shine. There are NO refunds. If the weather is awful (ie. high winds and sheets of rain), the event will be moved to the Cordova Jr/Sr High School gymnasium so we can still have space to DANCE!
All volunteers receive a $10 discount off entry. Volunteers will receive a coupon to redeem at the gate. If you are a volunteer, you can only purchase your ticket at the gate. Thanks for helping the festival!
Tickets can be purchased online (preferred in order to avoid congestion at the gate), at Festival HQ on Main Street at the Copper River Watershed Project, July 10-14, 11:00am-1:00pm. You can also purchase at the gate on each night of the festival.
100% of your Salmon Jam ticket goes towards bringing future artists to our community! How awesome is that?!
Music • Food • Fun!
