The Northwest Cherry Festival

EXPERIENCE AUTHENTIC OREGON AT THE NORTHWEST CHERRY FESTIVAL

Head to The Dalles for the 43rd Northwest Cherry Festival. A longtime favorite among locals and visitors alike, the festival is set in the spectacular Columbia River Gorge and showcases The Dalles’ deep agricultural heritage and Western roots. The Cherry Festival has grown in attendance, outdoor market, family-friendly activities, FUN, and 2024 is going to be even better! “This is a celebration of the blossoms, which have always been an indication of the harvest to come,” said The Dalles Chamber of Commerce President Lisa Farquharson. “We are super excited, as we are the largest per capita, sweet cherry producer, here in The Dalles, Oregon.”


This year’s theme is “Cherries on Broadway”. Let's open the big curtains and roll out the red carpet to the Main Stage and celebrate our community in style on Broadway! We cannot wait to see how the community embraces this theme!


The Northwest Cherry Festival takes place in downtown The Dalles from Friday, April 19th through Sunday, April 21st, 2024. The festival includes the Gorge’s largest parade, the KODL classic car show, the great Cherry Trail, and lots of local music and bands with Little Music City in The Dalles.  You don’t want to miss the crowning of Cherry Festival Royalty, including our Little Royals, at Mid-Columbia Senior Center’s Breakfast Saturday Morning before the parade!


The Dalles is one of Oregon’s great escapes, just beginning to be explored. This historic town sits at the eastern entrance of the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, just 75 miles east of Portland. With 300 days of sun a year and fantastic recreational and cultural opportunities, it’s a wonderland for cyclists, hikers, river rafters, wildflower fanatics, fishers, art lovers, history buffs, and wine aficionados. Look for other events taking place in The Dalles all week long!


The Dalles is just 75-minutes from Portland and Yakima, 2.5 hours’ drive from Bend and the Tri-Cities.
