This year marked the 15th anniversary for the Dungeness River Festival. Hundreds of visitors, including elementary students, packed Railroad Bridge Park and the Dungeness River Audubon Center on Friday, Sept. 26.

Visitors also took advantage of nice weather on Saturday to hear live music, talk to bird experts, meet with “green” and conservationist exhibitors, make a fish print on a T-shirt and more.

This year’s event also marked the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act as local students’ art lined the Railroad Bridge commemorating the occasion with “What Is Wilderness” to them. Inside the Audubon Center, the Olympic Driftwood Sculptors packed the building with club members’ works both Saturday and Sunday.
