Willkommen!
Welcome to Mt. Angel, Oregon. 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 and Monastery. Mt. Angel celebrates its German heritage each year during the Oktoberfest, one of Oregon's largest festivals. More than 300,000 people attend the four-day event, which has been held in Mt. Angel for more than 50 years.
Masks & Sanitizer Available to Members
A big thank you to Chamber Treasurer Kristi Brackinreed for coordinating the order & pickup of masks and hand sanitizer for our chamber members from Marion County! Kristi was able to secure 5,000 masks and 100 bottles of sanitizer for our community. We have been able to help almost 30 businesses and so far 2,500 masks and 80 bottles of sanitizer have been distributed.
