The Original Browns Point Salmon Bake is the best summertime event in the PNW. Fresh-caught Alaskan salmon is cooked over alder wood fire pits in the same manner Jerry Meeker did at the first official salmon bake in 1946. This is an event for the whole family with kids games, crafts, and an art show featuring local Northwest artists. There is no cost to attend. Come on out and join us for a fun Northwest tradition.
