The Nuttiest Event in the Northwest
Squirrel Fest is the first of its kind on the West Coast and in the Mount St. Helens region! We’re nuts over this celebration in honor or our furry friends and so are our 3,500+ guests we reconnect with annually. Longview is known for its Squirrel bridges near the Civic Center and we’re excited to invite you to celebrate with us!

Located at Longview Civic Center Park, the event features local vendors, performances, children’s activities, delicious foods and more!
