(Astoria, Oregon) – It turns out, the fan fave movie is now middle-aged. However, that just means a reason to party harder: diehard aficionados of Goonies are celebrating the 40th anniversary of the film on June 5 - 8 in Astoria and a bit in Cannon Beach. Goonies Weekend 40th Anniversary is going to be the rager of the Oregon coast.

There's an enormous amount of events crammed into those few days, including chances to visit the Goonies house in person, take part in interactive / immersive experiences that put you inside the movie, as well as dances, treasure hunts, exhibits and a whole host of Goonie goodies.

See Goonies Weekend site for full roster.

Goonies fans will have the opportunity to see the iconic Goonies house during Goonies Weekend, though access levels may vary. In a generous effort to support the Oregon Film Museum’s Expansion Project, the homeowners have opened their doors for this special event, with all proceeds from house-related activities going directly to the museum.

Visitors are reminded that this is a residential neighborhood, and it's important to avoid disrupting the daily lives of those who live there. Please respect all posted no-parking signs and street closures. Be mindful of your impact on the area and follow a pack-it-in, pack-it-out approach to waste—do not leave trash behind.

Thursday: 9 AM to 8 PM
Friday: Unavailable—please plan visits on other days
Saturday: 9 AM to 6 PM
