Gorge Summerfest 2025
Friends of the Columbia Gorge is throwing our annual summer celebration, and you’re invited! Set along the banks of the Columbia River at the scenic Cascade Locks Marine Park, this free, family-friendly event is open to the public and packed with fun ways to enjoy a summer afternoon in the Gorge.
Expect live music and dancing from two incredible local acts: genre-spanning pop-rock artist Matt Chaffee kicks things off, followed by a headlining set from acclaimed Americana/folk duo Tony Furtado and Stephanie Schneiderman.
Wander through a pop-up market featuring Indigenous artists, grab a bite from one of several delicious food trucks (frybread tacos, Thai, grilled sausages, ice cream, and more!), and explore conservation booths from local environmental groups. There’s something for everyone: lawn games, face painting, a bouncy house (wind permitting), a 50/50 raffle, and more.
Located in the heart of Cascade Locks, Oregon, the Marine Park offers riverside views, paved paths, and access to Thunder Island. It’s the perfect backdrop for a summer celebration of community and conservation.
Don’t miss your chance to connect with Friends of the Columbia Gorge and hundreds of other conservation-minded people from across the region to celebrate everything that makes this place so special.
Admission is free, and donations are optional, but if you’d like to make a donation as part of your free event registration, you may do so here.
Can’t wait to see you there!
