Garibaldi Days: One of My Favorite Weekends on the Oregon Coast

Room to roam looks different for everyone.

For some, it's wide-open acreage with horses grazing in the pasture.

For others, it's a cozy cottage overlooking the bay, mornings spent walking the beach, fresh seafood at the marina, and weekends exploring one of the Oregon Coast's favorite small-town traditions.

This weekend, that tradition is the 66th Annual Garibaldi Days.

One of my favorite things about Garibaldi is that it still feels like a real working fishing town.

Watching boats come and go from the port while enjoying fresh fish and chips or a seafood lunch overlooking the marina never gets old.

Whether you're craving freshly caught seafood, classic fish and chips, or simply want to relax by the water, Garibaldi is one of the best places on the Oregon Coast to do it.

It's one of those simple experiences that reminds you why so many people choose to visit... and eventually decide to call this area home. ❤️ More Than Just a Festival

Garibaldi Days is about more than vendors, music, food, and fireworks.

It's about community.

It's neighbors catching up after a busy summer.

Kids making memories they'll remember for years.

Local businesses welcoming visitors.

Volunteers giving their time to keep traditions alive.

And celebrating the hardworking people who help make this little coastal town such a special place to call home. 🤍 Room to Roam Isn't Always Measured in Acres

Sometimes it's measured in beach walks.

Sometimes it's measured in afternoons spent riding the train with your kids.

Sometimes it's measured in fresh seafood at the marina, fireworks over the bay, and weekends spent making memories with the people you love.

Because home is about so much more than four walls.

It's about the memories you make there.

The places you return to year after year.

The traditions your family looks forward to every summer.

That's what Room to Roam means to me.
