 There's something special about Oregon's Adventure Coast that you won't find anywhere else. With a strong Native community, three well established cities, historic and sports aplenty our calendar is full. And we invite you to visit and take part in all we have to offer, any time of year.
While there are so many different festivals and events, we have annual events that draw visitors who know this is the place to be, on the Oregon Coast. Steve Prefontaine, Olympic Champion, and our local hero's all to brief life left a legacy of what you can do if you apply yourself. Every September, you can participate in a Prefontaine Memorial Run that only grows bigger each year. We also have the honor of being the largest manufacturer of wooden ships in the world. To that end, every Spring we fill the harbor with tall ships that create a visual backdrop for a week-long celebration of activities and events.
Beyond that, we have celebrity performers, flora and fauna focused events, family oriented activities, Native American celebrations, culinary, health, sporting and film festivals. What's your adventure? Find it at Oregon's Adventure Coast.
