September 02, 2011 0 Comments Salmon Blogs by Editor

The 32nd Annual Coho Festival gets a face lift this year when it opens September 11th at Ambleside Park in West Vancouver from 11-6 p.m.

It features three stages of entertainment for people of all ages.  The big salmon barbecue with Celebrity Chefs continues.  The Beach Bar, Sustainability Zone and Kids Park will be as entertaining as ever.  In addition, Coho has incorporated an Aboriginal Village that features native artists; children’s dancing, story-telling and colourful exhibits.

The Coho Walk will go from Cleveland Dam to Ambleside Park. The Coho Run goes from Kits Beach to Ambleside Park. And this year, for the first time, Coho hosts the first annual open-water swim, offering swimmers the option of a 1.5 or 3 km race.

For information about registration, go to www.cohosociety.com.

Admission to the festival is free.  Funds raised from barbecue and beach bar sales help to support Coho’s salmonid enhancement programs.
