“This event not only celebrates the power of music and community but is also a great opportunity to contribute to a meaningful cause,” said Diana Barkley, SFGC president, in a release. “By coming together to enjoy great music, all of us can make a difference in supporting our Hatchery’s essential work.”

The Little Campbell Hatchery is entirely volunteer-run and releases approximately 100,000 salmon each year back into the Little Campbell River. Salmon Sessions Music Festival is helping to raise funds for a new hatchery building.

“This vital conservation effort relies on community support to continue its mission of preserving and enhancing salmon populations in the region,” added festival organizers in a statement.”
