Astoria Regatta Festival announces

Downtown Window Decorating Contest

The Astoria Regatta Association is excited to announce

an expanded Downtown Decorating Contest

for the 130th annual Astoria Regatta Festival!

“Downtown” can mean any community this year in Clatsop County.

Event details:

Businesses are encouraged to decorate their windows between now through August to celebrate the festival and this year’s theme of “Ready or Knot”, where we honor the traditions of one of the oldest festivals on the west coast, while embracing the present and future with new energy, events, and community spirit and involvement throughout all of Clatsop County - we are truly “Ready” to celebrate!

To register to have your business judged,

email Briana@events-nw.com for official registration.

For businesses located outside of Downtown Astoria, please email your photos to the above email address by 5:00 PM on Monday, August 5 for consideration and judging. The Regatta Court will review all of these photos and will be walking Downtown Astoria on Tuesday afternoon, August 6, for official judging of both in-person visits, and photos!

Warrenton businesses are encouraged to reach out to Shasia Fry from the mural/art committee from Spruce up Warrenton, for creative input and any help needed with submitting official photos by the deadline. She can be reached at shasiafry@gmail.com.

There will be two winners chosen, who will be invited to the Queen’s Coronation at the Liberty Theater on Wednesday evening at 7:30 PM, and will receive their award and have a chance to say a few words about their business, and inspiration for the display before the audience gathered! A great chance to showcase your business!
