If you enjoy sight seeing, there are so many things to do it is hard to list them all! We have several museums in the area, the Columbia River Maritime Museum, Flavel House, Clatsop County Heritage Museum, Uppertown Fire Fighters’ Museum and Oregon Film Museum, as well as Fort Clatsop and Fort Stevens. The Astoria Column is a big attraction that allows visitors to get a peek into our colorful history.
If you are more into the arts, we have a wonderful theatre in the center of Astoria, the Liberty Theater. During the summer, Astor Street Opry Company entertains visitors and locals alike with its family friendly musical melodrama, “Shanghaied in Astoria.” The second Saturday of each month the downtown merchants sponsor an art walk and many of the shops and galleries stay open late for the event.
If you are looking for fun, come to the area for the Crab, Seafood and Wine Festival in April, the Fourth of July celebrations, the Brew Cup in September or the Great Columbia Crossing. From Mother’s Day weekend through the beginning of October, Astoria is host to a bustling Sunday Market that is packed with vendors
If you are in need of accommodations, we have numerous fine hotels, motels and bed and breakfasts. If camping is more your style, there is the Fort Stevens campground where you can stay in your own tent or RV or rent a yurt by the night. There are also several private campgrounds in the area.
Please come to visit and stay in this very special place of ours. We welcome you.
