Eagle Festival 2023 February 3 & 4

With winter comes the return of the eagle to the Stillaguamish River. To celebrate these special winter residents, Arlington hosts an annual Eagle Festival. The eagles return to feed on salmon that have come to spawn in the clean river gravel. The eagle also prey on the snow geese that are feeding in the agricultural fields in the floodplain.

Activities include paddle rafting for wagon rides, salmon & eagle & other wildlife viewing, chainsaw carving show, art show, nature tours, contests, museum and interpretive visits, and much more. For a full list of festival activities, visit: https://www.arlingtonwa.gov/169/Festival-Activities
