Held on the homelands of the Lummi Nation, the Stommish Water Festival is an annual celebration of culture community and warriors of past and present. Now in it's 79th year, Stommish was first held in 1946 to welcome home Lummi veterans returning home from WWII. 

​

What began as a homecoming has grown into a vibrant, multi-day event honoring all who have served. The festival features war canoe races, traditional song and dance, Sla-Hal (stick games), veteran's parade, Salmon BBQ, vendors and more.

​

Stommish is a time to gather, honor our veterans, uplift our youth, and carry forward the spirit of the people.
