Like so many recently, I’m hedging my bets on Twitter, and have set up shop on Mastodon. Follow me and I will very likely follow you back!
I joined the first server I could find, but would ideally like to join a local community. Drop me a line (on Mastodon or Twitter!) if you know of any Astoria-based servers.
The Astoria Regatta is back in 2022, with fun activities (including two parades!) this weekend. 2nd Saturday means Art Walk, of course, and don’t miss the Not So Westminster Dog Show on Saturday at The Lot at 11th and Duane!
The Astoria Regatta is back for 2022! Visit the website for a list of all the events. Some highlights:
Performances of the 38th season of Astor Street Opry‘s Shanghaied in Astoria take place at 7pm every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday through September 10, 2022, with three Sunday matinees; July 24, August 21, and September 4.
Don’t miss the show! 2pm-5pm Saturday, August 13, right after the Regatta Parade downtown at The Lot (11th and Duane). Costume contest, tricks, obedience. $10 entry fee, 100% proceeds benefit an animal shelter.
From noon until 8pm on Saturday, August 13 explore art at galleries and shops throughout downtown-and beyond.
The Astoria Sunday Market runs from 10am to 3pm every Sunday through mid-October on 12th Street downtown, between Marine Drive and Exchange.
Performances of the 39th season of Astor Street Opry‘s Shanghaied in Astoria are running through August 20, 2023.
Shanghaied in Astoria is a vaudeville-esque musical melodrama set in mid-summer 1904, around the time of the annual Scandinavian Midsummer Festival. Eric Olson, our Norwegian hero, sets out to rescue his sweetheart Miss Virginia Sweet, who is a ward of the villainous Max Krooke.
