Goonies Weekend 40th Anniversary

Join us June 5-8, 2025 in Astoria, Oregon.

We welcome fans who want to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the release of The Goonies in the town where it was filmed. The celebration event is being coordinated by the Clatsop County Historical Society and Oregon Film Museum, with collaboration from many businesses and organizations throughout our region including the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce.

Special events will take place Thursday through Sunday, including tours, cast and crew panels, scavenger hunt and more.  Visit the official event website  www.gooniesweekend.com to learn more and get tickets.

Visit film locations in our region.

From Kindergarten Cop to Short Circuit, Oregon’s North Coast has been host to a number of great 80s and 90s films, but only one has gained cult status: The Goonies. The Goonies not only was filmed in Astoria and Cannon Beach, but within the movie they state it takes place in Astoria, in contrast to a fictional setting used by many films and television shows.

Fans come to Astoria from all over the world to experience the area, including film locations like the jail - now the Oregon Film Museum, the bowling alley, and Ecola State Park in Cannon Beach. Many of them look at our communities as another character from the movie and fall in love with the idea of just being here.

Explore the scenes for yourself, revel in the nostalgia of Mikey and the gang’s epic adventure, and soon, the town of Astoria will hold a special place in your heart, too.  Learn more at thegoondocks.org.
