Cannon Beach Events & Festivals
Our annual events allow you to rub elbows with renowned artists in our beautiful galleries, watch mammoth sand sculptures emerge from the beach near Haystack Rock, or visit galleries and shops while tasting Northwest wines. A visit during our annual events or festivals is an excellent opportunity to experience our beach town hospitality at its best. Build an extra day or two into your stay to enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings and our easy-to-walk downtown, an experience in and of itself.
