Hood River Valley Blossom Festival

English poet Wordsworth was charmed with a single blossom. But what happens when 15,000 acres of orchard explode into bloom? This is what you get at the Hood River Valley Blossom Festival. In April every year, the entire area is carpeted with pearly white and pink blossoms, and this is what you get at the blossom festival in the Hood River valley.

Nothing is prettier in the spring than fruit trees in bloom, and the Hood River Valley Blossom Festival, now over 50 years old, celebrates the arrival of spring in style. Hood River Valley, which spans the north slope of Mount Hood to the south shore of the Columbia River Gorge, is the largest pear-growing region in Oregon, producing 50% of the nation's winter pear crop. It's also home to an abundance of cherry and apples orchards.

Events typically include a Blossom Fest Craft Show, Blossom Fest Quilt Show, a farm "pansy party," a grange blossom dinner, and a fire department all-you-can-eat breakfast. Visitors can also get a real "taste" of the Gorge at several wine and beer-tasting events.
