LoggerodeoTM
July 1-July 4, 2022
The world-famous LoggerodeoTM is Sedro-Woolley’s official Fourth of July festivities. 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 74th annual event! Said LoggerodeoTM President Dottie Chandler, “We are excited to bring back events that were put on pause because of Covid-19; if you haven’t joined us for the LoggerodeoTM in a few years, this would be a great year to come back!”
It is always a good idea to check the LoggerodeoTM website and Facebook page closer to the event for any last-minute changes.
