Perched above the crashing Pacific, this beloved annual brunch is officially sold out—and for good reason. Guests gather for a multi-course experience that feels equal parts coastal elegance and cozy celebration. With the garden refreshed and spring in full bloom, it’s basically Mother Nature co-hosting.
Florence Rhododendron Festival (May 15–17, 2026)

A coastal classic! Think vibrant rhody blooms, parades, carnival energy, and that small-town charm Florence does so well. It’s the kind of weekend where you grab a coffee, wander the festivities, and somehow end up staying all day.
Yachats Big Band Night (May 7, 2026)
Website: https://www.yachatsoregon.org/212/Event-Calendar
Kick off May with a little swing. This lively evening brings classic big band sounds to the coast—perfect for date night or just soaking in that nostalgic, toe-tapping energy after a day exploring tide pools.
Memorial Day Weekend on the Central Oregon Coast (May 23–25, 2026)
Website: https://www.visityachats.org/events
Memorial Day here isn’t just a weekend—it’s a whole vibe. Wildflowers are popping, the ocean is putting on a show, and our freshly updated garden is ready for guests to linger with a glass of wine. It’s the unofficial start of summer, coastal-style.
