Oroville Salmon Festival Information and Road Access Update
Oroville Salmon Festival
On Saturday, September 22, the city of Oroville hosts the annual Salmon Festival to celebrate

Festival runs along the Feather River between the Fish Hatchery and downtown historic
Oroville, offering numerous activities to area visitors. Including the events listed below, the
public can sign up for DWR-guided river raft tours to learn and see salmon in their natural
habitat. Information about this event and other Festival activities can be found on the Oroville

Drive between Oro Dam Blvd. East and Oro Quincy Highway also includes one-way traffic
controls.
