  Friday, June 7 to Sunday, June 9

As a part of the Goonies 25th Anniversary Celebration, Mayor Willis Van Dusen declared June 7 to be officially recognized as Goonies Day in Astoria, Oregon.  This date is special to Astorians because it is the anniversary of the day the film was released into theaters in 1985. The Astoria-Warrenton Chamber encourages fans, both local and abroad, to celebrate the anniversary with us all weekend long, June 7-9, 2013.

Film fans in Astoria will be greeted by several merchants participating in the Rich Stuff Scavenger Hunt where fans can follow the clues to visit over a dozen goonies-enthusiast businesses.  Some businesses will also offer specials for Goonies weekend including a variety of 80s- and Goonies- themed activities. 

The house made famous in The Goonies as the residence of the Walsh family is an iconic location.  Each year, thousands of fans make the trek to the house to stand where the kids did in the movie and have snap a photo in front of it.  The private home will be opened in honor of Goonies Day and fans will have the opportunity to step inside and take a tour.  Online ticket sales are closed.  Tickets will be available in person while supplies are available. 

As an aspiring film director, author and native Astorian Mick Alderman was invited by director Richard Donner to observe the filming, and wound up spending nearly every day on the set.  His memoir, Three Weeks with The Goonies, takes the reader through The Goonies location shooting process - day by day - and relates a variety of anecdotes and impressions gleaned from the experience.  The Oregon Film Museum has invited Alderman to present his book in person.  He will be chatting about his experiences, sharing photos and signing his book.

The Oregon Film Museum celebrates the art and legacy of films and film-making in the State of Oregon.  Housed in the old Clatsop County Jail, known to Goonies fans as the scene of the opening jail break, the museum invites visitors to explore this and other films and the production behind making movies in Oregon.  The Oregon Film Museum provides visitors the opportunity to make their own movie, with three green screen experiences, edit and have it sent to them by email.  Open Daily from 10am to 5pm.

Join with other fans of the film and help us create a record for the most people doing the TRUFFLE SHUFFLE together as a group in Astoria!  This event will take place at 5pm, on Friday, June 7, at Warren Field.  Warren Field is the Astoria High School football field, seen in the film.

For more information about the region, the event and local lodging options, call the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce at (800) 875-6807 or visit www.oldoregon.com.
