Commission discusses a two-day Salmon Bake festival and fundraising structure
Summary
A commissioner proposed a two-day Salmon Bake and music/arts festival as a signature Depoe Bay event; members discussed logistics, parking, fundraising, and whether the event should be city-run or organized by the Fleet of Flowers nonprofit.
A commission member proposed a two-day Salmon Bake festival combining indigenous programming, music, an art fair and a ticketed salmon bake fundraiser. "So my idea is a 2 day salmon festival," the commissioner said, outlining a music schedule, art booths and a ticketed salmon bake as the primary revenue source.
Staff cautioned that city policy expects events to be largely self-sufficient and suggested commissioners prepare a cost breakdown and revenue projection for council review. Participants discussed partnership options with Fleet of Flowers and other local nonprofits and vendors to handle food procurement, staging and fundraising. Commissioners agreed to form subcommittees and to plan a workshop to produce a detailed event outline for presentation during the next budget cycle.
