Events take place across the city throughout the weekend, making it the perfect occasion to visit and get to know Florence. Celebrating its 116th year, the festival includes food, drink, and crafts from dozens of street vendors, a car show and pancake breakfast, 5k and 10k run, a carnival, and the grand floral parade which will highlight hundreds of rhododendron displays and arrangements. The Florence Rhododendron Festival is one of the oldest flower festivals on the West Coast, younger only than Portland's Rose Festival and Pasadena's Tournament of Roses.

OREGON WINES REGISTRATION
Online registration is $40, and note that if you’re not already a proud owner of a fat bike, you’ll have to borrow or rent your own for this event. Events include a sunset beach ride, a waterfall ride, a scavenger hunt by bike, and a beach bonfire with fat bike races and games. Their tires, typically at least four inches wide, are designed for riding on sand and snow without sinking in like you might on narrower tires, making the beach the ideal place to show off the fat bike’s terrain-conquering capabilities. The ATVs of the bicycle world come together annually in Cannon Beach.
