Loggerodeo™

June 30-July 4, 2023

e world-famous LoggerodeoTM is Sedro-Woolley’s official Fourth of July celebration, bringing the community together for a wide range of fun activities. Independence Day festivities in then separate towns Sedro and Woolley began in 1886. When the towns merged in 1948, the new festival was named LoggerodeoTM; this year marks the 75th annual event under the LoggerodeoTM name!

It is always a good idea to check the LoggerodeoTM website and Facebook page closer to July for any last-minute changes.
