Shop the Blossom Craft Show
Held in mid-April at the Hood River County Fairgrounds, the Blossom Craft Show is the first craft show of the year. Shop vendors from all over the Northwest selling everything from sewn goods to jewelry to baked goods and so much more. With vendors both inside and outside, there’s something to see everywhere you look.
Explore the Fruit Loop
One of the best ways to take in the beauty of the season is by exploring the Hood River County Fruit Loop.
