The Pacific City
Birding and Blues Festival:

Where rhythms of nature meet rhythms of the blues.

    Nature Lovers Know

Pacific City has some of Oregon's most spectacular estuaries,  rivers, bays and ocean shores.
 Be introduced to the abundant wildlife in
Oregon's Three-Capes region.
 Learn firsthand the secrets about our coast's fascinating
animals and the special places to see them – up close and personal.
 
  

Then after sunset, relax, feast, tap your feet, dance and celebrate life.
  

    Proceeds from this annual event will be used to produce
    wildlife viewing literature, maps, trails, naturalist
    education and signage in South Tillamook County.

    Check out the two wildlife panels erected on our Cape Kiwanda kiosk near the Pelican Pub & Brewery!
    (A gift to the community from the Birding and Blues Foundation, the Tillamook PUD, and with the cooperation of
     the Pacific City/Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce.)
