When you visit Albany, you’ll find yourself at the center of a region full of possibility. If you look to the west, the Oregon Coast beckons with its sandy beaches and rugged coastline. To the east, the mountains and forests of the Cascades are calling your name. Right here in the valley, vineyards, lakes, rivers and lots of curving back country roads are waiting to be explored.
We like to highlight some of the more interesting area events in this section. See a play, attend an AKC dog show or go rock hunting in an Oregon State Park—it’s easy to find something to do in the coming month.
