3rd Annual Kriekfest
2018-07-28 11:00 - 19:00 | Hood River Waterfront Park, 650 Portway Ave, Hood River, OR, 97031, United States
Kriekfest returns for its third annual inception, harvesting an even bigger basket of cherry beers (and ciders and a sparkling cherry wine) and moving to a new home in Hood River. Hood Valley’s abundance of cherry orchards served as the inspiration for this event. The largest celebration devoted exclusively to barrel-aged cherry beverages (each only available in four-ounce pours) will take place at Waterfront Park directly on the Columbia River. Kriekfest 2018 tickets are now available at merctickets.com/go/Kriekfest.
Admission purchased by June 30 is $40 and includes 24 drink tickets, while admission purchased after July 1 will come with 20 tickets. If the event does not sell out in advance gate admission will be $45 and will come with 18 tickets. All paid attendees will receive a commemorative stemmed glass. The festival this year takes place Saturday, July 28 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Kriek, Flemish for cherry, is a four-centuries-old style of spontaneously-fermented, lambic ales aged on cherries (pits and all). This year’s lineup features an even larger collection of world-class examples imported from Belgium for Kriekfest including Brasserie Cantillon, Brouwerij Drei Fonteinen, Brouwerij Boon, Brouwerij Brasserie De Ranke, and Hanssens Artisanaal. Cherry-growing regions are natural for such beers so it’s no surprise the Hood River Valley’s Belgian-inspired breweries make excellent krieks. The breweries in the Gorge featured at the fest include pFriem Family Brewers, Logsdon Farmhouse Ales, Solera Brewery, and Double Mountain Brewing . New Oregon breweries to Kriekfest include small and exceptional wild ale brewers Ale Apothecary and Wolf Tree, both of which created sour cherry beers designed specifically for this event. Combined with the fertile Willamette Valley, Oregon cherry farmers harvest over 13,000 acres of cherries.
The celebration of cherry-laced libations is family-friendly and features a Cherry Marketplace and other delicious food from Hood River caterers including special cherry gelatos created by Cicci Gelato.

2018-09-13 18:00 - 2018-09-16 18:00 | Odessa Community Center, Odessa, WA, 99159, United States
In it’s 48thyear, the Odessa community is hosting Deutschesfest, a festival tribute to the small town’s German heritage. With German music drifting down the streets of this small farming town, the delicious scent of homemade German staples fills the air, drawing in folks from all over for a taste of Germany.
Along the main streets of Odessa, the very heart and soul of Deutschesfest can be found among the Festplatz, a less than traditional “food court”. With a variety of delicacies served from colorful chalets, a visitor will find kuchen, cabbage rolls, kraut ranza, and apple strudel among so many other treats, all prepared by local community groups. While all of these are must-try eats, one wouldn’t be able to leave town without a bit of kartoffeln ‘n kloess and locally made German sausage.
Food is not the only attraction for the weekend, although no one will leave hungry. There are many attractions throughout the weekend for the whole family to enjoy, ranging from trike races for the kids, to the Biergarten for the adults and the annual Fun Run for all ages. Snag a seat at the Friday night football game where the high school team competes in the Sausage Bowl, or grab a spot along the main streets for the community parade held Saturday morning. With craft fairs and street vendors, there’s always something new to discover. If music is your liking, the Outdoor Stage at Festplatz has continuous talent, including a traditional German band of surrounding community locals, the Oom Pas and Mas. If you miss them on the Outdoor Stage, you’ll be able to catch them any night inside the Biergarten, along with the chance to catch one of the coveted chickens during the highly anticipated Chicken Dance!
Deutschesfest is put on by descendants of the German Russians who settled in Odessa at the beginning of the 20thCentury. A strong appreciation of good food, drink, music and dancing has been handed down through generations to give this festival a touch of care you’ll only find from those with true hometown pride. Deutschesfest will be held Friday through Sunday, September 13th-16thwith activities from breakfast through dinner. This gives you the perfect reason to get the family together, break out your lederhosen and dirndls and load up the motorhome or trailer to bring everyone out for a weekend of fun.
