Vancouver WA Summer Events

Bring the party outdoors and soak up the sunshine with these favorite summer events!

By July, several outdoor concert series and movie nights are in full swing, while big-name headliners take the stage at the Cascades Amphitheater.

Downtown, quench your thirst at Vancouver’s Craft Beer & Wine Fest or Wine & Jazz Festival. Hula your way through the 4 Days of Aloha Festival, or celebrate Vancouver's diversity at Esther Short Park and playground during Saturday in the Park Pride.

Beyond these special events, Vancouver offers countless summer activities for kids and families. Farmers markets pop up across the city nearly every day of the week, and the Clark County Fair anchors the season with fun for all ages. Don't forget the classic car shows and cruise-ins Vancouver is known for — including this year's triumphant return of Cruise the Couve.
