A Festival of Fall Colors

Grab a sweater and explore Ewing Young Park, where a one-mile loop trail winds through the forested canopy and down to the Chehalem Creek. The vibrant leaves make it feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard, and it’s an excellent choice for families or anyone seeking a shorter, scenic hike. Afterward, swing by Chehalem Skatepark and BMX Track to watch skaters and bikers in action at one of the best-designed parks in the state.

Raise a Glass to Harvest Ales

Cozy up in one of Newberg’s local taprooms, where fall-inspired brews take center stage. From the farmhouse ales at Wolves & People to the small-batch pours at Social Goods, Old Town Brewing, and Barley & Vine, this is the season to try something new. Some offer outdoor seating with fire pits or patios surrounded by fall color, while others lean into live music and a great menu. Bonus: Don’t miss the seasonal specials at Harvest Moon, the new sangria bar in town!

Golden Vineyards and Grape Harvest

Fall is the heart of the harvest season in Oregon wine country. Visit any of Newberg’s nearby tasting rooms on estate vineyards to witness winemaking teams processing grapes and offering tastes of what’s to come. Once the fruit is picked, the vineyard leaves turn a vivid yellow almost overnight, making this one of the most visually stunning times to visit.
