Event Details
The Port Alberni Salmon Festival, a cherished annual tradition, has been drawing fishing enthusiasts to the Alberni Inlet for decades.
Each Labour Day weekend, around 1,500 participants converge in the Alberni Inlet to compete in the annual Salmon Derby competition. During its peak years the competition saw around 4,000 people taking part. The largest fish ever caught was a massive 60-pound, eight-ounce Chinook in 1982. Last year in 2023 the leading fish was a 23-pound, four-ounce Chinook.
The festival has seen changes over the years, such as moving from Clutesi Haven Marina to Tyee Landing and Harbour Quay/Argyle Pier. The Salmon Festival Society has had to adapt over the years due to the pandemic and significant losses. This year the festival is looking to re-launch, including the popular beer tent, traditional salmon dinner, and a great line up of entertainment and family friendly activities.

Event Details
What started with 8 guys delivering a few toys to the Salvation Army on their bikes, just before Christmas, in 1984, now attracts upwards of 1500 motorcycles to Port Alberni, on the third weekend of September each year.
Cheer on the many motorcyclists as they travel in solid formation through the Alberni Valley on the Toy Run, delivering a massive haul of toys for children in the community—where child poverty is among the highest in British Columbia.
Gather at Little Qualicum Fall Provincial Park starting at 10 am Saturday. Cannon goes off at noon and 1000+ bikes ride into Port Alberni to the Glenwood Centre for bike games, show&shine, vendors, kids games, and beer garden. Riders are asked to bring a new unwrapped toy or donate money.
Saturday night dance features Johnny Inappropriate and the Maloomba boogie band with tickets on sale first to riders at Little Qualicum Falls, and then to the general public at 1 PM at Glenwood Center.
Tickets are $25 each.
Sunday there’s a pancake breakfast followed by a poker run through the Alberni valley back to Glenwood Centre for Beer garden raffles and auction.
