Oregon’s North Coast Celebration Returns April 24–26, 2026
ASTORIA, Ore. – Tickets go on sale Thursday, February 19, for the beloved Astoria Warrenton Crab & Wine Fest, returning April 24–26, 2026. Hosted by the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce since 1982 and co-presented by Fred Meyer and Toyota, the festival celebrates the flavors, creativity and charm of Oregon’s North Coast. Known for its festive atmosphere, Crab & Wine Fest welcomes families, foodies, long-term attendees and first-time visitors alike.
The 2026 event also introduces a refreshed look and streamlined name: Astoria Warrenton Crab & Wine Fest. While longtime fans may recognize the festival’s previous name, the updated branding reflects the lively spirit of the weekend while preserving the same beloved traditions that have defined the event for more than four decades.
Festivalgoers can enjoy a weekend of food, fun and flavor featuring more than 150 vendors, including coastal cuisine, Oregon wine, local craft beverages and artisan makers from across the Pacific Northwest.
Wine lovers can sip their way through Oregon’s renowned wine regions with more than 40 participating wineries dispersed throughout the venue. In addition to wine, attendees will find local craft beer, ciders and small-batch spirits. The Hydration Station, sponsored by NW Natural, will help keep guests refreshed throughout the weekend.
Food vendors will showcase the best of the Pacific Northwest, with a mouth-watering lineup that includes Oregon Dungeness crab, seafood specialties and a variety of savory and sweet favorites. From nostalgic fair classics to globally inspired dishes, there’s something for every palate.
Live entertainment takes place all weekend long on two stages, featuring crowd-pleasing bands and DJ sets that keep the energy high. Saturday’s lineup will spotlight cover bands performing familiar hits across genres designed to get the crowd singing along. Sunday offers a more relaxed atmosphere and is the perfect opportunity to return, reconnect with favorite vendors and enjoy the festival at an easygoing pace.
The event takes place at the Clatsop County Fair & Expo Center, located just outside Astoria, Oregon, where the Columbia River meets the Pacific Ocean. Astoria and Warrenton offer visitors a vibrant mix of maritime history, art galleries, museums, boutique shopping and a thriving food and craft beverage scene.
