Oregon Hallen Schwingfest - April 27, 2024

A message from the Tillamook Swiss Society

You are cordially invited to join us on April 27th in Tillamook, Oregon for our 2nd Hallen Schwingfest & Swiss Stomp. It's the only indoor Schwingfest on the West Coast (and we think possibly continental United States!)

On behalf of the Tillamook Swiss Society, I respectfully request that you please share with your Swiss Membership & Networks.

You can follow us on Facebook for the most up to date information Tillamook Swiss Society Facebook Page

I know MANY of you came to our Centennial event in 2022 (and first ever Schwingfest!) THANK YOU! Here are some photos from that event (I bet you see some familiar faces!) Tillamook Swiss Centennial Nov 5 2022

"Here is Oregon" was generous enough to create this quick video of that event, which you can view here Here is Oregon - Swiss Centennial Video

For the April 2024 event, I would like to share our preliminary Schedule of Events Spring Schwingfest & Swiss Stomp Schedule of Events **Just added - Joe Blaser Band will be accompanying the wrestlers with live Ländler music during our Schwingfest! Home - Joe Blaser Music

We'll enjoy an old fashioned Swiss Stomp with The Polkatones in the evening! This band is fun, energetic and engaging. Ever been in a tuba led oom-pah-pah conga line? We're not even kidding. It's a blast!

Lastly, we are about a 15 minute drive to the Pacific Ocean. It is beautiful here. Breathtakingly beautiful. There are plenty of Short Term Rentals available if that's a better fit for you.

We are very much looking forward to hosting you all again, as well as seeing some new faces!
