Astoria is an excellent town for history and recreation! Within a 20 mile radius, one can see dozens of exciting attractions including Flavel House Museum, Fort Stevens State Park, Fort Astoria, Fort Clatsop National Memorial, Heritage Center Museum, Uppertown Fire Fighters Museum, Astoria Column, and the Columbia River Maritime Museum.
Astoria celebrates its Scandinavian heritage with the Scandinavian Midsummer Festival, held in mid-June. Local Icelanders, Finns, Danes, Norwegians and Swedes join together to celebrate their heritage. Come celebrate and enjoy the costumed local townspeople dance the midsummer pole dance, see the bonfire burn to destroy evil spirits, and the tugs-of-war pitting Scandinavian nationalities against each other. The festival features authentic Scandinavian musicians, a smorgasbord of old world delicacies, ethnic entertainment, dancing, crafts and a parade.
