What is Wild Salmon on Parade?

Wild wacky salmon statues from local and national artists swim whimsically throughout downtown Anchorage, representing one of Alaska’s greatest bounties, wild Alaska salmon.

Reeling from successful runs in 2003, 2004 and 2005, the 2006 Wild Salmon on Parade will feature 20 four-foot, artistically transformed salmon sculptures.

Each statue is sponsored by an organization or business. The 2005 auction generated $75,000 for local charities.

This year's annual Wild Salmon on Parade "Fish Fry and Buy" Auction takes place September 8, 2006 at the Sheraton Anchorage Hotel, for tickets visit www.wildsalmononparade.com/auction.htm or call (907) 777-7248. The 2006 charities include Camp Fire USA Alaska Council, the Anchorage Concert Association and the Alaska Conservation Foundation. Read on for more information.
