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.

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.

It’s an immersive experience full of color, creativity, and community.
