Come join the Skagit Marine Resources Committee and friends for a FREE, fun, family outing at our 21st annual Fidalgo Bay Day event on Saturday, September 13, 2025, from 11:00am - 3:00pm at the Samish Indian Nation's beautiful Fidalgo Bay Resort, located at 4701 Fidalgo Bay road in Anacortes.
The event will kick off at 11:00am with a warm welcome from the Skagit MRC and the Samish Indian Nation 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 seining demonstration with knowledgeable Samish Indian Nation staff and volunteers, touch love 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 say hello to Corra, the Heavy Metal Selkie - Mutiny Mermaid Pod on the beach, and learn some cool things about Corra's underwater habitat beneath the Salish Sea. And don't forget to stop by the Friends of the Salish Sea booth to grab a Discovery Passport activity booklet for a chance to win prizes and enter the coloring contest for a chance to be on the cover of the 2026 Fidalgo Bay Day Discovery Passport booklet!
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 savory shellfish and delicious chowder thanks Taylor Shellfish, Adrift, Gere-A-Deli, and Island Cafe'!
We'd also like to thank Skagit Soils for making this a Zero Waste event and many thanks to Anthony's at Cap Sante Marina, Anacortes Oil & Vinegar, The Wishing Rock, and the Watermark Book Co for donating top-notch door prizes for our amazing volunteers!
