Portland is Jammin’ for Salmon
Planning is nearing comple­
tion as the Columbia River Inter-
Tribal Fish Commission and their
sponsors bring “Jam m in' tor
S alm o n ” - __ two days of
music, art,
children’s
and exhibits - to “the Bowl” on
the South end o f Portland ’ s Tom
McCall Waterfront Park, Aug.
4 and 5. The event features five-
Gramm y win-
tim e s
Robert Cray
ners, The
Band, Chaka
K han,
B uck­
wheat
Zydeco, Indegenous and top
local acts. The success o f last
y e a r’s initial “ Ja m m in ’ for
Salm on” on the U m atilla res­
ervation inspired the C om m is­
sion to bring the event to the
Colum bia B asin’s largest city.
“ Jam m in’ for Salm on” is
guided by a vision to celebrate
salm on culture in a m anner
that blends tradition with popu­
lar culture and mass com m uni­
cation.
Partnering with the City o f
Portland and institutions like
OM SI, the Com m ission ex­
pects “Jam m in’ for Salm on”
to becom e an annual event in
the Portland area. In addition
to the music, festival-goers can
take free jet-boat rides across
the W illamette to view salmon-
related dem onstrations and ex­
hibits at OM SI, and kids can
learn about salm on species
w hile playing at the Pacific
Pow er K id s’ Pow er Pavilion.
Food, o f course, will be a
highlight as traditionally pre­
pared salm on and fry bread
will be available along with an
eclectic selection o f cuisine.
An added attraction will be
an Art M arketplace with N a­
tiv e fin e a rts an d c ra f ts .
Twenty artists will display their
work offering Portlanders a
chance to view and purchase
national caliber art.

form ation on “Jam m in' for
Salm on” by visiting the official
