Mt. Angel Chamber of Commerce

Welcome to Mt. Angel

Welcome to Mt. Angel, Oregon, a wonderful place to visit! Nestled between farmland and foothills, Mt. Angel is located 18 miles northeast of Salem on Highway 214. This little town, founded in the late 1800s by German settlers, has an Old World flavor which is heightened by the many Bavarian style storefronts and the beautiful Benedictine Abbey. Mt. Angel celebrates their German heritage each year during the Oktoberfest, one of Oregon's longest festivals. More than 300,000 people attend the four-day festival, which has been held in Mt. Angel for more than 40 years. Oktoberfest starts on the second Thursday after Labor Day and continues through Sunday.

Mt. Angel Community Building

Dear Friends of Oktoberfest,

The Spaghetti Dinner last night was a huge hit. Around 300 people shared dinner on an absolutely beautiful evening out of doors. Many thanks to the Glockenspiel Restaurant for hosting the dinner and to many of their employees who graciously offered their time and talent to make it such a wonderful experience.

As a result of the community's support, the Glockenspiel restaurant is sending a $3,000.00 check to the Mount Angel Community Foundation for our new community building
.
Thanks also to Mt. Angel Telephone Company for the free root beer floats - enjoyed by young and old alike - and for sponsoring the Marion County Citizens Band in concert at the village bandstand. It was a perfect musical desert following a splendid meal; a great way to celebrate the telephone company's 100 years of service to Mount Angel.

Our own Mt. Angel Police Department also deserves kudos for helping to block the streets for the event and for keeping every one safe.
I'll bet everyone wishes they could live in Mount Angel!
