Event Description

🎉 Theme: Cherry Land – A Sweet Celebration!
Presented by Title Sponsor: Tonkin Subaru of the Gorge
Step into Cherry Land, where the magic of The Dalles’ signature festival meets the whimsical charm of the classic board game Candy Land! The Northwest Cherry Festival is a beloved tradition celebrating our region’s deep agricultural roots, vibrant community spirit, and, of course, our world-famous sweet cherries.​
“This is a celebration of the blossoms, which have always been an indication of the harvest to come,” said The Dalles Area Chamber of Commerce President Lisa Farquharson. “As the largest per capita producer of sweet cherries, The Dalles takes great pride in this festival, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you in 2025!”​
