Oregon’s premiere stout festival is back, Fort George Festival of the Dark Arts returns to the Astoria brewery on Saturday, February 18th – gates open at noon. Let your senses feast on tattoo artistry, contortionists, ice sculpting, and a multitude of performers. Stay warm by the fire dancers and glass blowers. Satiate your hunger with thick-cut bacon on a stick or other delectably dark choices. Live music will play all day, on multiple stages, and wherever you go the dark beers will follow. It’s a Carnival of Stout with over 60 rare and unique offerings from 50+ breweries all packed into one block in downtown Astoria, Oregon. More info here.

Presented by the Seaside Chamber of Commerce, this annual festival returns for it’s 11th year which would have been in 2020 if not for the pandemic. After 3 years since the last event, this family friendly brewfest returns to tourist heavy Seaside and is said to feature around 30 breweries from across the state. The organizers are now accepting brewery applications and looking for volunteers. More info TBA at https://pouringatthecoast.com/
