Makah Days

Makah Days Information

Makah Days 2026 is scheduled for August 28–30, 2026, in Neah Bay, Washington, featuring traditional canoe races, salmon bakes, a parade, fireworks and street vendors. The annual event honors the Makah Tribe's culture and heritage, welcoming visitors to the northwestern tip of the Olympic Peninsula.

During Makah Days, the members of the Makah Tribe of Neah Bay gather to reunite with those who have since moved away, to commemorate thousands of years of Makah ancient culture and the anniversary of becoming citizens of the United States. They welcome everyone to join as they celebrate with neighboring Tribes in Washington State and First Nations members from Vancouver Island in Canada.
