Festivals



















The following long running annual festivals offer full weekend long dancing opportunities.  They are regularly attended by dancers from Oregon, Washington, and Idaho.  These particular festivals are also a reasonable distance from La Grande, OR, the home town of Star Promenaders.  They are listed by date sequence.

SPRING FLING
 
4th weekend in April in Baker City, OR.  This long running annual event is considered a "MUST ATTEND" festival by many dancers from central and eastern Oregon, southeast Washington, and western Idaho.  The food tables are loaded with tempting goodies.  You won't find a more friendly group than the Elkhorn Swingers.  If you haven't been before, make plans to go.  You will be glad that you did! 
 
 

MOXEE

Memorial Day weekend in Moxee (near Yakima, WA).  This PLUS level festival goes a full extra day because of the holiday weekend.  It also is preceeded by optional trails in round dancing workshops and dances.
 
 

MUDDY FROGWATER

Third weekend in August in Milton-Freewater.  In 2008 this festival is cancelled (only in 2008) because the US West Square Dance Convention will be that weekend in Pendleton.
