The second annual Festival on the Rogue will be held next to the river from 10 am to 4 pm on June 8. It will focus on the upper Rogue watershed’s natural wonders and recreational opportunities, as well as on ways to assure that they are passed on to future generations.

The festival will include: a large aquarium holding adult salmon and steelhead; visits from Smokey Bear; a variety of interesting exhibits; raffles for prizes including free same-day raft trips; artisans selling watershed, river, and nature-related arts, crafts, and photos; and other inexpensive activities and attractions for families, friends, and individuals.

Parking and admission to the festival will be free. Additional activities will occur in Shady Cove outside the park.
