The COHO Festival
Ambleside Park, West Vancouver
The festival flagship has long been the Coho Festival which is held the second Sunday after Labour Day each year. Several thousand people attend this event to take in exhibits in our sustainability zone, to enjoy outdoor entertainment by the water in Ambleside Park, West Vancouver, to participate in children's activities and to enjoy our famous salmon barbecue (Wild Alaskan Salmon, which is in abundant supply, is served). The festival is also a venue for Coho Kids to raise funds for salmonid programs in the classroom.
