Schedule of Events

Eradication and Awareness through Festivities

Gorse Blossom Festival is an opportunity to highlight a thorn in the side of our beloved Oregon Coast, while at the same time celebrating the seafood, beer, and wine from all over our region.  Our charming coastal town offers visitors a unique opportunity to enjoy the bounty of this fabulous NW coast region with multi-day festivities.

Gorse Action Group will be on-hand throughout the three-day festival to illustrate the need for eradication.  Interactive events and displays, history, and experts will be an integral to the Gorse Blossom Festival experience.  More information about Gorse Action Group can be found at www.gorseactiongroup.org.
