(Cannon Beach, Oregon) - Summer may be winding down to its Labor Day climax but the north Oregon coast town of Cannon Beach has bundles of tricks up its sleeves.

Get ready for lots of music in one of its parks, some more tufted puffin walks and then there's that farmer's market that will feed just about any craving. Then there's fall and winter to contend with, and a brief preview of some major events of the year, like the 2027 Cannon Beach Sandcastle Festival.

Far more of these will be posted regularly at the Cannon Beach / Seaside events page.

Through September 3, Thursdays. Buskers in the Park. A summer concert series bringing rotating musicians to the City Park bandstand, offering early-evening folk, acoustic, and Americana performances. Shows run weather-permitting, and the season features regional artists who turn the park into a laidback but groove-filled community gathering spot.

The room was nice and warm when we arrived. We stayed in a standard queen, and the view was incredible. I paid a little extra for the birthday package, and it was adorable. I wanted to surprise my boyfriend, and they set the room up in an outstanding way. It was such a lovely touch.
