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.
The 2008 Festival brings a new event which is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Sternwheelers will race for bragging rights on who is the fastest on the river. Visitors can purchase tickets and be a part of the race. For more information on tickets, times and prices, visit www.sternwheeler.com
The Festival of Nations is another signature event for the community. Each Fall, the Treaty Tribes of the Columbia River Gorge area play host to “visiting nations”. Vendors, educational exhibits, a Salmon Run, Dancers, Drummers, Musicians and more, take part in celebrating cultures. For more information go to www.festivalofnations.info
