Now in its 104th year, the annual festival featured longtime traditions including the grand parade, four days of carnival rides, live music, fireworks, and the crowning of the 2025 Royal Court. Brian Love, owner of Krohn’s Appliance and longtime community volunteer, served as this year’s Grand Marshal.

Festival organizers confirmed that 2025 will be the final year fireworks can be held at Renne Field, as the Chehalem Park and Recreation District plans to replace the natural grass with artificial turf.
