Dory Days

Pacific City honors its unique dory-fishing heritage with Dory Days, celebrating the flat-bottomed boats that launch straight through the surf. Watch the dories in action, enjoy a parade and fish fry, and experience a proud maritime tradition found nowhere else quite like this.

It's a heartfelt tribute to a one-of-a-kind fishing culture on the north Oregon coast. Pacific City is also home to its own Cape Kiwanda and Haystack Rock — pair the festival with beach time, a hike up the dune, and a pint at the iconic brewery overlooking the surf.
