Join Us for the 4th Annual White Salmon Wildflower Festival Poster Unveiling
The countdown to the 4th Annual White Salmon Wildflower Festival is officially underway — and we’re inviting the community to be part of the excitement.
Join us on March 26th from 5:30–7:00 PM at Marcel (163 N Main Ave, White Salmon) for the official unveiling of the 2026 festival poster. This special evening is a chance to gather, celebrate spring’s arrival, and get a first look at the artwork that will represent this year’s festival.
The 2026 poster features a stunning photograph of wildflowers in bloom with Mt. Hood rising in the background, captured by local photographer Brian Chambers, a previous Wildflower Festival Photography Contest winner. Brian will be on hand during the unveiling to talk about his photography, his connection to the festival, and the story behind this year’s featured image.
We’re also excited to welcome local author Ashley Erdely, who will be present with autographed copies of her new book, Wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest for Kids (Timber Press, 2025), available for purchase. Her work beautifully complements the spirit of the festival by inspiring curiosity and appreciation for the native plants that make our region so special.
Maryhill Winery wine will be available by donation during the event, adding to the celebratory atmosphere.
The White Salmon Wildflower Festival is rooted in our tagline: Nature, Art, and Community in Full Bloom. Each year, the festival brings together outdoor enthusiasts, artists, families, and visitors to celebrate the beauty of the Columbia River Gorge and the vibrant spirit of White Salmon.
Festival highlights in May will include the Wine Walk & Artisan Market, Mayfaire, guided hikes and walks, rafting adventures, art shows and open studios, workshops, photography and kids art contests, live mural painting, the Balsamroot Bash, and stewardship and volunteer opportunities.
We are grateful to Maryhill Winery and Hush Esthetics for being the first sponsors of the 2026 White Salmon Wildflower Festival. Their early support helps make this celebration of nature and community possible.
Tourism support is provided by the City of White Salmon lodging tax funds and administered by the Mt. Adams Chamber of Commerce.
Come raise a glass, meet the artist and author, connect with neighbors, and be among the first to see this year’s beautiful festival artwork. We look forward to celebrating with you on March 26th at Marcel.

TICKETS: https://www.tickettomato.com/event/9956
In 2001, Buddy left his desk job in Gig Harbor, WA, sold everything he owned, moved into a Honda Civic, and set out to “live for a living,” touring poetry venues for two years. He never stopped.
Buddy isn’t concerned with what poetry is or is not. So, this performance is raw, funny, disarming, and unlike anything you’ve seen in the Gorge.
Buddy Wakefield is an Individual World Poetry Slam champion, an actor, writer, and the most toured performance poet in history.
He’s been a busker in Amsterdam, a street vendor in Spain, a team leader in Singapore, a re-delivery boy, a candy maker, a street sweeper, a bartender, a maid, a construction worker, a bull rider, a notably slow triathlete, and more.
Buddy’s been featured on HBO’s Def Poetry Jam and the BBC, signed to both Sage Francis’ Strange Famous Records and Ani DiFranco’s Righteous Babe Records, and has performed in over 2,000 venues across the globe — from the Great Lawn of Central Park to San QuentinState Penitentiary.
“Buddy Wakefield is an unbullshit artist… and he’ll make you laugh your ass off while he does it.” — Gabrielle Bouliane
“Buddy Wakefield is a honey badger. Lions will go completely out of their way to avoid a honey badger.” — Don Beck, Theory of Spiral Dynamics
“I think he’s proof that there is a God.” — Graham Moore, Academy Award-winning writer of The Imitation Game
We’ll kick off the night with musical opener Kaylan Krebsbach. Join us for a performance you won’t forget.

Molly has been performing all her life, with her favorite genre being Musical Theater. Since moving to Hood River, she has been running “Music For Children” for many years. She has worked in comedy at The Groundlings in L.A. and The Upright Citizens Brigade in NYC. She is so excited to make you laugh and maybe make you cry and quite possibly pee a little.
