Mendo Lake Family Life

World’s Largest Salmon BBQ

Hundreds of slabs of pink-fleshed fish cooking on rows and rows of grills. That’s the scene at the World’s Largest Salmon Barbeque. The fundraiser for the Salmon Restoration Association, a nonprofit that seeks to restore salmon runs in northern California rivers, has been an annual event for 50 years. This year’s feast will be on July 3, 11 a.m.–6 p.m., at Noyo Harbor in Fort Bragg. Besides plenty of food and local craft beer and wine, there also will be live music throughout the day. Tickets are $35, or $10 for children 10 and younger, and are available at salmonrestoration.com.
