The Wenatchee Valley attracts visitors and new residents each year because of our area's abundant outdoor activities, natural beauty, and low-cost energy. Stunning landscapes, recreational opportunites of every type and thriving business make the entire area a perfect place to to escape, explore and enjoy.

Entertainment in the Valley is another perk--whether it be live jazz playing at McGlinn's, a theatrical production at the Performing Arts Center of Wenatchee at the Stanley Civic Centeror a concert held at Sleeping Lady Mountain Retreat or at the Icicle Creek Music Center.

Annual Festivals bring our community together while drawing visitors from throughout the Pacific Northwest.
