The Willamette Valley in Bloom: Lavender Season is Here

Lavender Season:

Every summer, the landscape around the Valley transforms as lavender fields come into full bloom. From rolling hills painted in purple to the calming scent carried on the breeze, it’s a magical time of year in the Willamette Valley. Lavender lovers can look forward to a whole month dedicated to celebrating this beautiful bloom.

Follow the Lavender Trail:

Throughout the month of July, the Newberg Lavender Trail invites locals and visitors alike to explore farms, shops, and experiences all centered around lavender. Participating farms open their gates for u-pick events, allowing guests to walk the rows and gather their own bundles of fresh lavender. It’s a fragrant and photogenic way to experience summer in the valley

A Festival for the Senses:

The season’s highlight is the Willamette Valley Lavender Festival & Plein Air Art Show, held at the Chehalem Cultural Center. This beloved annual event brings together local farmers, artists, and makers to showcase lavender-inspired products, handmade crafts, fresh bouquets, and original artwork created on-site at nearby farms. It’s an immersive experience full of color, creativity, and community.
