Canyon Days 2026
Get ready for some fun in the sun as we celebrate life in the canyon! Most events are free, and there will be lots of great food and items to purchase. Come prepared for hot, sunny weather, and bring your swimsuit and a lawn chair! If you’re into live music, great food, classic cars, shopping local, bingo, family-friendly events, winning prizes, or just small-town vibes, come join us! Click on the Events tab to plan a fabulous weekend in beautiful Klickitat, Washington.
Free parking is available throughout town as well as in the school parking lot. Sage Coffee Shop and Bakery, the Canyon Market, Huntington’s, The Hive Restaurant and Bar, and the open-air craft market will provide great food and drink options all weekend long. Also, enjoy a free hotdog dinner on Friday night outside the Community Center, and don’t miss the Klickitat Volunteer Fire Department fundraising breakfast on Saturday morning.
The 2026 Grand Marshals of Canyon Days are BJ Kessinger and Chuck and Kristy Kessinger. They were nominated for being integral to Klickitat’s Timber Festival and therefore Canyon Days and the town in general. To learn more about the Timber Festival, visit the Klickitat Museum!
Chuck and Kristy will be represented by their children, Keith Kessinger and Traci Kessinger, and BJ will be represented by his son and daughter-in-law, Joe and Renee Kessinger. Below, Traci and Joe have each provided a description of the roles that these three played in our community. Thank you, Kessinger family!
