June 2 Great Bavarian Walk

Raises awareness and money for autoimmune disease research. The 5K, 10K and 1Mile walks are for families, organizations, teams and individuals. People of all ages are encouraged to join the fun! Several lengths of walks are offered with education, contests and food events as part of the day.

Hike of the Month

One of the best kept secrets in the Leavenworth area is the Sauer Mountain Friendship Trail. Located at the end of Anderson Canyon (off North Rd), the trail is a 2 ˝ mile long loop, offering stunning vistas and hillsides carpeted with wildflowers.

June 2 Bavarian Bike & Brew Festival

The IMBA sanctioned XC race features a spectacular, but rigorous 8.6 mile loop with 1800 ft elevation gain per lap. Each lap has four creek crossings, challenging single track, and plenty of water bars interlaced throughout the most spectacular scenery you have ever seen. This is not a course for the timid soul, but will challenge all who commit.

Military Tribute June 30

The 133rd Army Band of the Washington Army National Guard performs a two-week concert tour around the State during the summer. We are very pleased to be part of their itinerary this year. They will be playing "Music Thru the Decades" in a 90 minute concert featuring Roaring's 20's through the 80's, patriotic songs and big band music. Pre-show--1pm and Concert--7pm at the Gazebo.
