A Rich Harvest of Events

Sisters will mark the nation’s birth with Sisters 4th Fest at Village Green Park, sponsored by Rotary Club of Sisters and Citizens4Community. A pancake breakfast, a fun run, and a car show are just a sampling of the fun, which will also include live music. 

Athletes participate in running events, often tied to holidays, and artists enjoy a monthly stroll through galleries and studios on the Fourth Friday of each month.

Car lovers revel in the Glory Daze Car Show staged by Sisters Park and Recreation District and sponsored by Rotary Club and Mid Oregon Credit Union on September 13. Classic cars line East Main Avenue and prizes go to vehicles that prove themselves special. The event fills up; register your vehicle early at https://sistersrecreationcom/activity/glorydaze. 

Sisters Harvest Faire, set for October 11-12 is a destination event. Vendors, many of whom have been coming to Sisters for decades, offer quality handcrafted items including pottery, metal art, photography, painting, jewelry, furniture, home décor, specialty foods, and much more.

Sisters celebrates Christmas with a Holiday Palooza — a tree-lighting and parade on Saturday, November 29, that have become a family tradition for visitors and locals alike.

There’s always something happening here. Check the events calendar at www.nuggetnews.com to keep up.
