FESTIVAL MISSION
The mission of the Festival is to help people who live and work in the Stillaguamish Watershed and surrounding regions understand how their actions can help make their environment cleaner for people, fish, and wildlife.
The Tribe recorded at least 11, 000 attendees at the 2008 Festival of the River. Over 28 states were represented, but the majority of festival-goers were from northern Snohomish County.
