Save the Date: The 22nd Annual Cannon Beach Cottage Tour Returns the weekend of September 12-14, 2025.

CANNON BEACH, Ore. – The “best autumn event” in Cannon Beach, as named by Sunset Magazine, is back for its 22nd year this September. The annual Cannon Beach Cottage Tour, hosted by the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum, will take place from September 12-14, 2025. This beloved historic home tour, set for Saturday, September 13th, will showcase charming cottages and stunning homes in the scenic Tolovana Park area of Cannon Beach. Previous homes on the tour have earned praise from notable publications including Oregon Home Magazine, Sunset Magazine, The Oregonian, Seattle Times, Oregon Coast Magazine, and HGTV, among others.

Though the home tour on Saturday is the highlight of the weekend, the festivities span the entire weekend with exciting events. Kicking off on Friday, September 12th, is the Opening Night Benefit Bash, featuring live music, delicious appetizers and drinks, and a Silent Auction. On Sunday, September 14th, a new and exciting art-focused event will round out the weekend’s activities.

The Cannon Beach Cottage Tour serves as a key fundraiser for the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum, a nonprofit dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich history of the region. The museum is home to the cannon that gave Cannon Beach its name, a replica Native American longhouse, a tide pool exhibit, and historical displays about the area’s past. Throughout the year, the museum also hosts a free lecture series, workshops, and family-friendly activities.

This unique nonprofit remains free to explore, thanks to generous donations and events like the Cottage Tour. The tour offers a rare opportunity for history enthusiasts, architecture buffs, home designers, and anyone curious about these historic homes to explore some of Cannon Beach’s most treasured properties.

Tickets for the Cannon Beach Cottage Tour will be available starting July 1 through the museum’s online gift shop at www.cbhistory.org or by phone at 503-436-9301.

For more information, you can email the museum at info@cbhistory.org.
