Welcome To Ontario, Oregon Home of “America’s Global Village Festival”

O

ntario, Oregon is nestled on the lush banks of the Snake River and is proud to be the first Oregon city you encounter when traveling west from the Idaho border. Once you enter the uniquely rugged landscape of the Treasure Valley, you will come to understand why many people never

want to leave. Those who choose to live here understand the meaning and importance of a quality, family oriented lifestyle. Thus, the community reflects the energy, distinction, and diversity of its surrounding geography and residents.

And speaking of diversity, this year the Ontario Chamber of Commerce will host the 17th annual America’s Global Village Festival in Lions Park on June 3rd – the first Saturday in June. The

festivities begin at 10:00 a.m. with a multicultural parade through the park followed by a flag ceremony.

The Festival celebrates the authentic cultural villages of African, Basque, German, Hawaiian, Japanese, Mexican, Pioneer, Scottish and Native American cultures. Each village features food, arts and crafts, cultural demonstrations

and free youth activities. The main stage will highlight cultural entertainment throughout the day.

Upon entering the park for the Festival, visitors will be given a souvenir passport. With each visit to the villages, the passport will be stamped. When children have a full passport, they will

receive a free prize. Adults who turn in a complete survey will have a chance to win one of two $50 gas cards.

While Ontario is the kind of laid-back town you dream about when you want to get away from the hectic schedule of a busy, big city lifestyle, it also boasts a myriad of recreational activities for all ages, interests and skill levels within driving distance from its downtown area. Here you can enjoy mountain biking, hiking, golfing, camping, sport fishing, bird watching, kayaking, river rafting, horseback riding and much more. Ontario is situated only two hours from four separate ski resorts, including the world renowned Tamarack Ski Resort in Cascade, Idaho. You can not only downhill ski to your heart’s content, but also snowmobile, cross country ski and ice skate as well. There are also 61 acres of lush parks within the city if you’re looking for a place to just relax and enjoy the landscape.

Ontario is a town where you will find the people are genuine, authentic, friendly, and down to earth. It is a town with a fascinating history, rich traditions, and a diverse population. It is also a place filled with things to do, places to see, and four distinct and beautiful seasons, so any time you choose to visit will be the perfect time.

family vacation or a weekend getaway.

Glen Rose is known as the “Dinosaur Capital of Texas” and for good reason. Dinosaur Valley State Park contains some of the best preserved dinosaur tracks in the world. Another dinosaur attraction is Dinosaur World. It is Texas’s largest attraction dedicated to dinosaurs. Dinosaur World features life size recreations in the forms of statues and animatronics. It also has a museum, fossil dig and Boneyard playground.

Other top attractions include: Fossil Rim Wildlife Center, a world renowned wildlife preserve featuring over a thousand threatened and endangered species from around the world, free roaming on 1,700 acres, it’s a mini Africa in Texas! The Promise is a musical play about the life and ministry of Jesus Christ. Come see the Gospel come to life before your eyes and listen to the award winning musical score performed by a cast and crew of over 200. Performances are Friday and Saturday nights in September and October. If golf is your game plan to play a round at the top rated Squaw Valley Golf Club.

Golf Digest Magazine gave Squaw Valley’s beautiful 36 holes of championship golf a 4 ½ out of 5 stars.

Go shopping in our historic Courthouse Square. Watch a rodeo or equestrian event at the Somervell County Expo Center.

Explore one of our museums. Experience one of our festivals like the Paluxy Bluegrass Festival held the first weekend of April and October. Dine out at one of our many local owned or chain restaurants. Or just get some fresh air by going biking, swimming, hiking, or horseback riding.

So make sure to book your getaway at one of our bed & breakfasts, cabins, hotels, campgrounds or RV parks. Hope to see you soon!
