Celebrating the diversity and economic importance of shellfish grown in Samish Bay while drawing attention to the importance of clean water, the Samish Bay Bivalve Bash brings families and community together for some good old-fashioned summer fun featuring games, contests, shellacious food, beverage and local bands by the bay. A series of Mud Runs will take place as well.

Proceeds benefit the clean water efforts of the Skagit Conservation Education Alliance and bring attention to Mudup’s work in protecting and restoring the shorelines of Puget Sound.
