Milton-Freewater Chamber of Commerce

Milton-Freewater is a small community in a region offering a rural lifestyle with close access to larger cities and the amenities they offer. Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Mountains, outdoor recreational sports are one of the area’s biggest attractions, including hiking, skiing, snowmobiling and camping. As well as the mountains being only minutes away, the Walla Walla, Columbia and Snake rivers are also in close proximity for a variety of water sports and fishing adventures.

Many service clubs and organizations along with the Milton-Freewater Area Chamber of Commerce sponsor and host a variety of community events each year. In February, the Chamber's Annual Awards Banquet is a unique event where local businesses cleverly decorate tables to the delight of attendees and offer an evening of special memories as local citizens are honored for their year's of volunteer services. Two festivals can be enjoyed during the summer months. Logs to Frogs, a chainsaw carving competition held in July, finds amateur & professional carvers competing for prizes & bragging rights. The Muddy Frogwater Country Classic Festival is held on the 3rd full week-end of August in the city's beautiful Yantis Park. This community festival encompasses everything this small town offers. A variety of vendors, great "free" entertainment, a Kiddie land and the famous corn/watermelon feed, round out three days of  family fun. On the first Friday evening in December, "Christmas Magic" fills the air. The Bright Lights Parade is a crowd pleaser as it travels from the Dollar Store to the end of North Main where Santa will direct the lighting of the tree. Children can sit on Santa's lap as caroller's perform and refreshments are enjoyed. Click on our Event Calendar to see what other great things are going on or call the Chamber at 541-938-5563.
