THINGS TO DO

As Salmon Arm grows, so do the opportunities! No matter what brings you here, we bet you'll find even more to entice you to stay. 

 

ARTS, CULTURE & HERITAGE

Come and visit in the third weekend of August and take in the sights and sounds of the Roots & Blues Festival. For more than 30 years the Salmon Arm Folk Music Society has brought generations of music lovers together. Learn about the history of the Shuswap and enjoy some family fun at the R.J Hanley Heritage Village.  

 

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

The Shuswap is vital to the spawning cycle of the Sockeye Salmon. The Salute to the Sockeye takes place every dominant year of salmon spawning; come by for some entertainment, art, and amazing food. It is not uncommon for over two million Sockeye to return to the area during a dominant year. 

 

FOOD & DRINK

Obviously our favourite restaurant in Salmon Arm is Nineteen05 Kitchen & Raw Bar located at Prestige Harbourfront Resort Salmon Arm, but if you've already visited them and want to try out another great local eatery Shuswap Tourism has a great directory. You haven't had pie until you've been to the Shuswap Pie Company! Support local and get some great products at the  All Organics Farmers' Market every Wednesday afternoon.
