ACRES OF CRANBERRY BOGS ON THE PENINSULA
A tiny red berry is big time from Seaview and Ilwaco, east to Chinook and north to the Ocean
Park area. It’s a cranberry. The little berry is so big that the annual Cranberrian Fair is held in its
honor.
Cranberries make up a big part of the Peninsula’s personality, so much so that it’s impossible
to imagine our home without its distinctive and colorful cranberry fields.
A celebration of local harvest including all things cranberry will take place on the Long Beach
Peninsula, centered around the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco, on Oct. 14 and 15,
from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Foods, crafters, bog tours, and more will showcase the area’s rich
heritage during the annual Cranberrian Fair. Collectible Cranberrian Fair buttons are $5 each
and cover admission to all events at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum. The Cranberry
Museum is free.
The museum’s gift shop is stocked with cranberry goodies. Watch the red berry harvest as part
of the fair.
