Cottonwood Beach comes to life this weekend
with the biggest Lewis and Clark event so far



Captain. William Clark Park on one-mile stretch of Cottonwood Beach on the Columbia River in Washougal will be dedicated during three-days of activities
this weekend. The new park contains exhibits of Lewis and Clark Expedition.

Washougal’s Captain William Clark Park at Cottonwood Beach on the Columbia River will be dedicated at 10 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 7, the final day of three days of events along the nearly one-mile stretch of river beach west of Washougal’s industrial area.

Cottonwood Beach has had a checkered past, but that all seems to be over now with exhibits and displays commemorating the Lewis and Clark’s six-day encampment here, or very nearly here, 199 years ago as the Corps of Discovery, having sighted the Pacific Ocean the year before, headed east.

Admission to the park is free.

Sacagawea’s Cache, a food vendor’s court, and Charbonneau’s Libations, a beer and wine garden. open at 6 p.m. this evening. The Cascade Troubadours, playing Lewis and Clark period music, entertain from 7 to 9 p.m. from the Clark Stage. Hot Property, rhythm and blues from the 70s and 80s, holds forth from the Lewis Stage from 8 p.m. until midnight. Columbia Home Brew Exhibition in Charbonneau’s Libations will be announced at 9 p.m. Throughout the evening Lewis and Clark re-enactors will entertain and instruct.

The really big bash is the $75 per-person, 6-to-9 p.m. dinner Saturday, Aug. 6, which is capped by a fireworks show at 11 p.m.

Saturday events begin at 9 a.m. and conclude at midnight. These include science classes and demonstrations with assistance from the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry.

Musical entertainers are Clark County Old Time Fiddlers, Jan Michael Looking Wolf, Wapato Tribal Dancers, Rock-A-Roos, Saints & Sinners, and Five Guys Named Moe. Children are permitted in Charbonneau’s Libations until 2 p.m., after which it is open to adults only.
