Oregon’s north coast celebrates food and fun at the Astoria Warrenton Crab, Seafood & Wine Festival!
The Astoria Warrenton Crab, Seafood and Wine Festival is held annually on the last weekend of April, at the Clatsop County Fair & Expo Center. The Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce (AWACC) coordinates this event which, held annually since 1982, features around 150 vendors of hand-crafted arts, coastal cuisine, Oregon wine and local brews. The festival is a major fundraiser for not only the AWACC, but dozens of community organizations that participate in the event. The festival also draws traffic to hundreds of small businesses, from Crab Fest vendors and performers to local hotels, restaurants and shops in the surrounding region.

2025 – Festival Art by Dianne Valenzuela of Daydreamn D
Dianne is a self-taught multimedia artist based out of Astoria, Oregon who draws inspiration from the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. As a mom to two school-age children, she makes time to create as a means to find her way back to herself. Block printing is the art form of choice lately, but watercolors, acrylic painting and digital art are the main mediums used in their art. Sustainability and resourcefulness are core values in her small business which means most items used in daily operations such as iPad, printers and paper were sourced second-hand along with surfaces to paint on like wood plaques, handbags and clothing. Custom art and commissioned projects are always welcomed as collaborations really help keep things interesting and promote a sense of creative community.
