Sternwheeler Days June 24-26, 2011

Cascade Locks is the perfect venue for a festival. Located along the banks of the Columbia River, the Marine Park is ideally suited for outdoor events and festivals. For more than three decades, the community has been celebrating Sternwheeler Days Festival. Each year, visitors look forward to reminiscing of bygone days. The Mountain Men take center stage in their roles of educating the wide eyed audiences with black powder demonstrations and reenactments of yesteryear.
