Join us for the 81st annual Winthrop Washington ’49er Days! Come enjoy a celebration of our rich western history and community spirit. The event starts with the annual Ride the Rendezvous, a week-long horse-packing excursion through the Methow Valley high country.

At high noon on Friday May 8th the Ride the Rendezvous horses, wagons and cowboy crews will come through town to kick off the celebrations!

On Saturday, May 9th at 11am the historic 49ers Grand Parade will roll through Riverside Ave with floats, bands, vintage vehicles and more pack strings than any parade in the state! Before and after the parade there will be music and games, dancing in the street and shopping specials at our local boutiques.

Head to Mack Lloyd park after the parade for more fun with cowboy meals, live music, crafts and loads of family fun!
