The Bandstand hosts a number of public events, including the annual Flag Day commemoration.

The units of Fort Vancouver National Historic Site and the Vancouver National Historic Reserve are home to unique and beautiful landscapes and settings that are ideal venues for a variety of special activities such as cultural programs, picnics, wedding ceremonies, and film and photography projects.

Special events and activities held on the grounds of Fort Vancouver NHS - including the McLoughlin House Unit in Oregon City, Oregon - require a Special Use Permit (SUP), issued after the National Park Service determines that the activities involved will not impair park values and resources.

Special events (such as public spectator attractions, entertainment, ceremonies, and encampments) and commercial filming (digital or film recording of a visual image or sound recording by a person, business, or other entity for a market audience, such as for a documentary, television or feature film, advertisement, or similar project) may be permitted by the park when, in the determination of park staff, they meet established guidelines, policies, and regulations.

Park staff are happy to assist you with the permit process and to guide you in planning your event or activity logistics so that they comply with these guidelines, policies, guidelines and regulations.

Please click on the Special Events or Filming links in the title bar above for more information.
