On behalf of the Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival Committee we welcome everyone to join us in a celebration of our natural heritage. It is a family oriented weekend of enjoyment with educational events focused on the natural beauty of the Fraser Valley. Every year over one thousand bald eagles return to their wintering grounds along the Harrison River to feed on salmon during the spawning season. The shorelines and adjacent cliffs are often filled with bald eagles searching for their next meal along with a myriad of other birds. The Harrison River is both a spawning ground and a highway for all 5 species of Pacific salmon; chinook, coho, chum, pink and sockeye. Spawning activity in the tributary creeks occurs throughout August to late December. The inter-relationships of Pacific salmon and the life cycle of bald eagles is a fascinating event to observe. Opportunities to view bald eagles and spawning salmon abound during the festival. For more information on our Festival and to see our Sponsors please view our website at: https://www.fraservalleybaldeaglefestival.ca/.  This year you can support the Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival by purchasing Wolf Blass Bilyara Reserve wines in their new eco-friendly PET bottles during the months of October and November.
