Fingerling Festival

On Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 11 am – 3 pm, the Port Moody Ecological Society invites everyone to attend our annual Fingerling Festival We invite visitors to the hatchery with its fish-rearing pond and restored wetland. Release salmon fingerlings and speak to amazing ecological, educational and stewardship organizations that help make the Tri-Cities area a healthy, diverse and ecologically sustainable place to live. Our fun, free environmental festival will be held at our Noons Creek Hatchery and the Port Moody Recreation Centre’s ice rink, located just across the walking bridge at 300 Ioco Road. This iconic environmental festival is among the largest of its kind in the Lower Mainland, and provides an opportunity for children (and adults!) to help release thousands of young chum salmon into Noons Creek to help these fish begin their four-year journey at sea.
