Fun Fact. The Beacon turned 100 years old in 2020.

This event venue in downtown Seaside, Oregon, underwent a 5-and-a-half-year transformation. The renovation was completed in 2019. The original floor was preserved, creating warmth and elegance to enhance your special event. You’ll be a close walk to the beach, just 4 and a half blocks away. Many hotels, restaurants, and other attractions are near.

  • This versatile space is well-suited for private and corporate rentals. It is elegant for weddings, receptions, social gatherings, meets and greets, conferences, and retreats.
  • Great workspace for film crews and photoshoots.
  • Have your next training session, class, or seminar at the Oregon Coast.
  • Various configurations convert the venue from fully open to a more intimate setting for smaller parties. 

The Beacon seats up to 150 people; tables and chairs are included. The Vendor page is helpful whether you are from the area or planning for a destination event.

The Historic Gilbert District will participate in Shop Small Saturday.

The Historic Gilbert District will participate in Shop Small Saturday on Nov. 25.

Locally owned businesses in the historic Gilbert District make it worthwhile to shop small during the traditional post-Thanksgiving shopping frenzy.

Shoppers will be encouraged to patronize small and local businesses.

“The shops here are unique and have things you can’t get anywhere else,” said Denise Fairweahter, the neighborhood champion. “There is a place for Internet shopping, but nothing can replace going into a store and looking, and feeling, and touching and seeing the item you want to purchase.”

Shop Small Saturday was created in 2010 by American Express, but businesses do not have to accept American Express to participate in a neighborhood event. Since 2012, neighborhoods nationwide have been encouraged to host events to unite their communities and encourage local shopping.

The bustling Historic Gilbert District businesses at the vibrant intersection of Broadway and Holladay Drive will joyfully showcase the event with enchanting window posters and window displays.

A historic district is preserved due to its historical, architectural, or cultural significance. They play a crucial role in maintaining the heritage and character of a town.

The district features a unique collection of historic buildings, structures, and landmarks, providing a glimpse into the past and allowing visitors and residents to appreciate a place’s rich history and cultural heritage.

And, too, far from a stuffy affair, the neighborhood Seaside First Saturday Art Walk hosts more of a block party than a strait-laced wine and cheese function (but don’t fret, there may be wine and cheese—along with a chance to meet and greet featured artists, live performances, live painting demonstrations and artist talks). Street parking is nearly impossible, plan to park in the designated Gilbert Block Building parking lot located on the corner of Holladay and Oceanway.
