Lincoln City heats up with a chowder cook-off that pits local kitchens against each other for creamy, briny bragging rights. Taste your way through the contenders, cast your vote for a favorite, and enjoy the various happenings around town all weekend.
It's a delicious, spirited celebration of a Northwest coastal staple — and a great excuse to explore everything Lincoln City offers. Between bowls of chowder, hunt for glass floats on the beach, browse the outlets, and take in seven miles of central Oregon coast scenery.
