A Glimpse at Top Festivals and Events

No matter the time of year, there is always something going on in Cannon Beach. The coastal town’s calendar of events is filled with entertaining festivals and events that are the perfect addition to any getaway. While there are countless festivities, we’ve highlighted three of the most popular ones below.

Fat Bike Festival

Every year around mid-May, the Fat Bike Festival takes over town. This weekend-long festival includes several rides around town that’ll have you exploring the beaches and community. Go on a self-guided ride along Klootchy Creek Trails, or join the 13-mile ride to Hug Point.

Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest

Back in 1964, the Cannon Beach Sand Castle Content was created to entertain families and visitors left relatively isolated after a tsunami washed away the bridge. Today, the annual festival is broken up into several divisions, including masters, teens, juniors, and more. Stop by the beach to see the piles of sand turned into incredible sculptures.

Art Festivals

There are several art festivals throughout the year that celebrate incredible local talent. In May, galleries gather the latest pieces of work from their featured artists for Spring Unveilings Arts Festival. The Stormy Weather Arts Festival in November features artist demonstrations, live music, a dinner auction, and more.

Of course, there are plenty more events or festivals to check out, including the Fourth of July and Haystack Holidays.
