The Snake River Fund and its key partners are excited to announce the 2nd Annual Snake River Fest!

The Snake River and its headwater tributaries are an indispensable resource to Jackson Hole and our neighboring communities. Teton County’s 400+ miles of Wild & Scenic Rivers attract visitors from around the globe and local residents alike for their scenery, fishery, wildlife habitat, and recreational opportunities.

Snake River Fest celebrates the history, stewardship, and culture of our great river, along with the joy we all find in River Time. Join us May 31-June 3, 2023 as our community celebrates our Wild and Scenic Rivers.
