Sunriver, Oregon is a beautiful, resort-style destination that makes for a great getaway spot any time of the year. While the opportunities to ski in Sunriver in the winter are enchanting, there’s something incredible about a trip over the 4th of July when the area comes to life with the spirit of summer. Whether you love to hike, bike or make the most of fireworks, there’s something in Sunriver for everyone when Independence Day rolls around. Here are a few must-try activities and central Oregon events to add to your summer itinerary.
Central Oregon Events: 4th of July Festival
Beginning at 10:30 am and running until 4:00 pm, this annual festival is a favorite of locals and visitors alike in Sunriver. Hosted at the Village, guests to this family-friendly event will enjoy a variety of games, live musical entertainment and of course, food vendors that cater to every taste and craving. Entrance to the event is free, so make sure you swing by to take part in a watermelon eating contest or put your athletic skills to the test by facing the rock-climbing wall. The 4th of July Festival also plays host to several fire and police vehicles on-site for guests to come to take a closer look. Feel free to browse these impressive safety vehicles and take some time to have a conversation with the many police officers on-hand about what their daily life looks like on the job. Sunriver summer activities are a wonderful way to spend the day and a great place for kids to come to be engaged and inspired!
Fall River Trail
While many hikers take to this trail in the winter equipped with snowshoes, Fall River Trail provides a wonderful workout as well as a beautiful view that really reaches its peak in July. This dog-friendly trail is just under 6-miles full-loop and provides a moderately difficult terrain packed with lush foliage, forest and incredible wildlife. When you reach the falls, the effort will be all worth the while. Enjoy these pristine cascades that are always looking their best in the middle of summer. Make it a family event when you hit the Fall River Trail for your 4th of July getaway to Sunriver.
