2012 Copper River Wild! Salmon Festival
July 26-28, 2012
Join us for a jam-packed weekend full of fun and festivity at the Copper River Wild! salmon festival in Cordova, Alaska. Experience the energy and enthusiasm of our rustic fishing community in the heart of Prince William Sound (home to world famous wild Copper River salmon) through a wide variety of art, music, road races and educational events. The Copper River Wild! Festival aims to celebrate salmon and promote the health and sustainability of local salmon runs.
Despite our remote location, we’re easy to reach by either plane or ferry. Alaska Airlines has a daily jet service to Cordova from Anchorage and Seattle (via Juneau), and Era Aviation has service twice daily from Anchorage.
As a scenic alternative, you can travel by ferry on the Alaska Marine Highway System to Cordova from either Whittier, or Valdez, with or without your automobile, a great way to view the spectacular scenery and wildlife in Prince William Sound.
Cordova has a great selection of accommodations, including hotels, motels, B&B’s and several camping grounds to suit your needs, budget and style of travel.
