For 100 years, the steel span has soared above the mighty Columbia in the same place as its legendary namesake. The bridge plays a vital role in the regional economy on both sides of the Columbia River and served travelers from all over the world.  The festival is free to attend and will offer engaging activities such as games, live music, a vintage carshow, presentations, a marketplace featuring regional artists & businesses, and a raffle to support the Friends of the Cascade Locks Historical Museum.
