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! With a wide variety of nutty activities, Squirrel Fest offers something for everyone. Squirrel Fest will take place Saturday, August 17th, 2024 at Longview Civic Center Park featuring local vendors, performances, children’s activities, delicious foods and more! 

Launching the first Longview Squirrel Fest was a dream of a local group, The Sandbaggers; with the idea of creating a fun event that would be nutty enough for all ages. In 2019 the Rotary Club of Longview took over the event as it continued to grow and outpaced the Sandbaggers.

Each year is better than the last, growing in attendance, awareness, fun and even more shows from great local musicians, children’s entertainers, and headliners that you’ll just go NUTS about.
