Summer in Walla Walla!

June to August
Music, MOvies & wine
Magnificent sunsets grace the skies throughout the summer, providing a colorful backdrop to the many musical experiences in the Valley. From the nearly month-long Walla Walla Chamber Music Festival in June (running June 5-28, 2025) to the weekly performances in wineries and new Heritage Square, as well as epic concerts, the hills (and streets and barrel rooms and driving ranges) come alive with music.
For those who may rather have a seat in an air-conditioned theater, they may experience an “intoxicating” blend of short films at Walla Walla Movie Crush (July 11-13, 2025). And for those seeking the sound of wine bottles opening, they can immerse themselves in social and educational wine festivities at Celebrate Walla Walla Valley Wine (June 16-21, 2025) and at the Blood of Gods event (July 19, 2025), a wine meets rock’n’roll and pop art experience.
Summer fun is punctuated by Walla Walla Fair & Frontier Days (August 27-31, 2025), Washington State’s oldest fair! This annual event features headline bands – in 2025, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Foreigner will play – as well as fun and family-friendly activities like demolition derbies, carnival rides, and three nights of the PRCA rodeo.

The festivities are kicked off with a package about veterans’ issues, in honor of the organizers’ commitment to the Red Badge Project and its work in Walla Walla.
