(Oregon Coast) – Just what you didn t know you needed: a look ahead at what events have returned to the coast for 2021. Music, food, fun, outdoors, and maybe even some ghosts and bits of Stark Trek. Pandemic restrictions and surges may take a toll once again, but for now these are some highlights of what s happening on the coast through the end of the year from the southern Oregon coast to the edges of the Washington coast.

The chamber did release the kickoff date, however: June 5.
Once more, the virtual competition is intended to be a COVID-safe alternative during a time that will still require physical distancing for public safety. However, the chamber said you should start sketching out your dream sand creation for the 2021 season now.
The committee is working on COVID-safe small celebratory events to accompany the virtual contest, such as music. More details will appear in the coming months on the Sandcastle Contest web page and Facebook page for updates.
Cannon Beach has hosted this Oregon Heritage Tradition event since 1964. Until the COVID pandemic it had been held every year. Like 2020, this year still demands caution, explained Chamber Executive Director, James Paino.
