Every summer, the Salish and various other local Native-American tribes assemble in Boulevard Park.

The purpose of this gathering is to perform a traditional Canoe embarkation/disembarkation ceremony. The ceremony commemorates the peaceful coexistence between the local tribes in the past.

Furthermore, the local tribes honor their veterans who fought in past U.S. conflicts.

Various souvenir shops and samples of various Native-American cuisines are also available for tourists and locals alike wishing everyone a wonderful summer.
