Join Us for the 4th Annual White Salmon Wildflower Festival Poster Unveiling
The countdown to the 4th Annual White Salmon Wildflower Festival is officially underway — and we’re inviting the community to be part of the excitement.
Join us on March 26th from 5:30–7:00 PM at Marcel (163 N Main Ave, White Salmon) for the official unveiling of the 2026 festival poster. This special evening is a chance to gather, celebrate spring’s arrival, and get a first look at the artwork that will represent this year’s festival.
The 2026 poster features a stunning photograph of wildflowers in bloom with Mt. Hood rising in the background, captured by local photographer Brian Chambers, a previous Wildflower Festival Photography Contest winner. Brian will be on hand during the unveiling to talk about his photography, his connection to the festival, and the story behind this year’s featured image.
We’re also excited to welcome local author Ashley Erdely, who will be present with autographed copies of her new book, Wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest for Kids (Timber Press, 2025), available for purchase. Her work beautifully complements the spirit of the festival by inspiring curiosity and appreciation for the native plants that make our region so special.
Maryhill Winery wine will be available by donation during the event, adding to the celebratory atmosphere.
The White Salmon Wildflower Festival is rooted in our tagline: Nature, Art, and Community in Full Bloom. Each year, the festival brings together outdoor enthusiasts, artists, families, and visitors to celebrate the beauty of the Columbia River Gorge and the vibrant spirit of White Salmon.
Festival highlights in May will include the Wine Walk & Artisan Market, Mayfaire, guided hikes and walks, rafting adventures, art shows and open studios, workshops, photography and kids art contests, live mural painting, the Balsamroot Bash, and stewardship and volunteer opportunities.
We are grateful to Maryhill Winery and Hush Esthetics for being the first sponsors of the 2026 White Salmon Wildflower Festival. Their early support helps make this celebration of nature and community possible.
Tourism support is provided by the City of White Salmon lodging tax funds and administered by the Mt. Adams Chamber of Commerce.
Come raise a glass, meet the artist and author, connect with neighbors, and be among the first to see this year’s beautiful festival artwork. We look forward to celebrating with you on March 26th at Marcel.
