It’s a swirling sandstorm of famous Arabian Tales, from Ali Baba to Scheherazade to Sinbad the Sailor, as Aladdin journeys to find a magic lamp in a Cave of (not-so-great) Wonders. Along his way Aladdin seeks answers and advice from wise Genies, a powerful Sultan, and his own Mother to find a way to meet the Princess.

Astoria Column Marks 100 Years as an Enduring Symbol of Oregon History

The Centennial Celebration Ignites the North Coast with Signature Events on July 18  

The iconic Astoria Column, one of the Pacific Northwest’s most recognizable landmarks, will celebrate its centennial in July, 2026, marking 100 years since its dedication in 1926. Rising high above the Columbia River and the city of Astoria, the Column has stood for a century as a monument to the region’s rich and layered history.  

Completed in 1926, the Astoria Column was inspired by Rome’s Trajan Column and built to commemorate the pioneering spirit of the Pacific Northwest and the founding of Astoria—the oldest permanent United States settlement west of the Rocky Mountains. Rising 125 feet above the city, the Column stands as a powerful symbol of exploration, perseverance, and place. Its signature spiral sgraffito mural—the only one of its kind in the world—depicts pivotal moments in regional history, from Native American heritage and early exploration to the Lewis and Clark Expedition and the growth of the American West.

The centennial is a chance to celebrate local heritage, honor those who built and preserved the monument, and inspire future generations to value their history. Centennial activities planned for 2026 will honor the Column’s legacy while inviting new generations to engage with Astoria’s past. Signature events will include a multicultural celebration with community groups showcasing Astoria’s heritage, present & future. Visitors and locals will enjoy multicultural entertainment and food, community booths, arts and crafts, live music and more from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in downtown Astoria.
A rededication ceremony will also occur at the base of the Column.

All are welcome to check the website, https://www.astoriacolumn100.org/, year-round for ongoing centennial events.

On July 22, 2026, the Astoria Column marks the 100th anniversary of its dedication. One hundred years later, the community is invited to celebrate this milestone with an evening of history, reflection, and festivity.

The celebration will take place at the Liberty Theater in Astoria, Wednesday, July 22, with doors opening at 6:00 p.m. and the program beginning at 7:00 p.m. Attendees will enjoy cake, a short film, and a keynote presentation by public historian Zachary Stocks.

Stocks will present “Lost Monuments of the Northwest,” an engaging talk that explores an ambitious early 20th-century effort to highlight regional history. Exactly 100 years ago, the Great Northern Railway promoted its line as the most historic route in North America, sponsoring special train journeys and constructing monuments to honor the Northwest’s past. Today, many of those monuments have been overlooked, vandalized, or abandoned—leaving the Astoria Column as a rare and notable exception.

Kameron Marlowe with special guests, the Kruse Brothers. Live! At the Clatsop County Fair on Friday, July 24, 2026. Concert ticket includes admission to the Fair on Friday, July 24, 2026. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. You are welcome to bring a chair or a blanket.                                               
Kameron Marlowe
Columbia Nashville singer/songwriter Kameron Marlowe “is one of our greatest living country singers” (MusicRow). The Kannapolis, North Carolina-native fell in love with country music on an old FM radio while hunting and fishing with his grandpa, raised on Keith Whitley, Brooks & Dunn, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Ray Charles. Marlowe grew up singing in church choir and bands, honing his soulful, resonant baritone and distinct vocal style while in school, eventually dropping out of college and working as an auto part salesman at General Motors to help his family.
“The ‘best live voice’ in all of country” (American Songwriter), Marlowe’s titanic vocal ability, universally appealing catalog, and tasteful ear have earned him sold-out headliners from coast to coast. Marlowe has supported genre giants Morgan Wallen, Riley Green, Lainey Wilson, Thomas Rhett, and others, with a slate of 2025 arena dates supporting Parker McCollum on tap. His new single, “Seventeen,” is spinning on nationwide country radio now.
The Kruse Brothers
If you missed them last year, they're back by popular demand! 
Phoenix-based duo, the Kruse Brothers, Chandler and Miles Kruse are transforming country music with their blend of diverse influences and musical styles. Originally rooted in classical music, the brothers bring a unique sound to the genre, infusing it with elements of blues and rock.
