FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2025 Fidalgo Bay Day
Come join the Skagit Marine Resources Committee (MRC) and friends for a FREE, fun, family outing at our 21st annual Fidalgo Bay Day event on Saturday, September 13th, from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. at the Samish Indian Nation’s beautiful Fidalgo Bay Resort, located at 4701 Fidalgo Bay Road in Anacortes.
The event will kick off at 11:00a.m. with a warm welcome by Carolyn Moulton, Anacortes City Councilmember and Skagit MRC member, and Coast Salish Elder Rosie Cayou James, followed by a day filled with a variety of activities to help celebrate our local estuaries and their beauty, history, and wonderful marine life. Take part in our popular beach seining demonstration at 1:00 p.m., touch live marine critters in Shannon Point Marine Center’s undersea zoo, get creative at the kid friendly craft tables, play fun games, win prizes, and learn about local projects and volunteer opportunities at the many educational exhibits staffed by local agencies and organizations. Be sure to stop by to say hello to Corra, the live mermaid-selkie, and learn some cool things about Corra's underwater habitat beneath the Salish Sea.
In addition to all the fun activities, you can satisfy your appetite with a fabulous no-host traditional Coast Salish salmon BBQ lunch! You’ll also get to taste complimentary samples of oysters and mussels from Taylor Shellfish grilled to perfection by our volunteers and delicious chowder samples from Adrift, Gere-a-deli, and Island Cafe. Thanks to our volunteers, the Fidalgo Bay Resort, and Skagit Soils Inc. Composting for making this a near zero-waste event!
