Last year we had over 1200 in attendance and raised nearly $13,000 to support the Community Fund and Chamber operations. This September would have been Depoe Bay’s 64th Annual Traditional Native American Salmon Bake. Instead of our long-time typical group gathering, starting September 19th, we’re going to feature the following activities:
Local restaurants will offer salmon specials
So far participating restaurants include Bayview Thai Kitchen, Gracie’s Sea Hag, The Horn, Mazatlan Restaurant, Mo’s West in Otter Rock, SCP Hotel/Kitchen, Sea Bites, Tidal Raves, Whale Bites

Don’t get left out… restaurants, food carts and caterers, by September 10th let us know if you would like to participate!

Storefronts will decorate and feature salmon and/or Native American related products
Via our website and social media channels, the Chamber will post event-related contests, photos, trivia, recipes, etc.
The Chamber will hold an online raffle for over 40 local prizes.
We will also be selling a variety of Native American and/or Salmon-related products.
History of the Salmon Bake: Over the past 60+ years, this gathering has evolved into the current "Indian Style" Salmon Bake, held annually on the 3rd Saturday in September. Salmon is cooked in the traditional manner used for generations by Native Coastal tribes.
Each year, over 2,000 pounds of salmon are slow-roasted to perfection on alder stakes over a 80-foot long fire line. Come enjoy friends and neighbors, live music, and of course, an amazing salmon meal.
