Red Lobster Man Pacific City Oregon

Honoring a heritage of traditional dory boat fishing in Pacific City, the 55th Annual Dory Days Festival kicks off July 19-20. Parade July 19,, hence, lobster man

Pacific City is one of few places in the world to see dory boats in action. The Dory Days Festival held July 19-20, celebrates this classic boat design and livelihood of Pacific fishermen. Traditional style Cape Kiwanda dories are flat-bottomed, double-ended boats. Pointed at the bow and stern and fitted with two sets of oars, dory boats could be launched from the beach and rowed through the heavy surf and out to sea. Today the modern Pacific City dory is a square stern boat with an outboard motor. Even with modern motors, many dorymen still row through the surf just as their fathers and grandfathers did.

"For more than a century, dory boats have launched from the sandy beach and shelter of Cape Kiwanda to fish off shore. The dory fleet is renowned for its safety record. Dorymen are often the first responders to distress calls and marine emergencies. Only six known dorymen have lost their lives at sea, making these sailors among the safest mariners on the water.

Coast Explorer Magazine:
"Dory Days is a time to see the boats in action with demonstrations all weekend long and a chance to talk to dorymen about dory fishing. Sponsored by the Pacific City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce and co-sponsored by the Pacific City Dorymen's Association, this event is a major fundraiser for both organizations. The Dorymen's Association will have a large booth and boat display at the Cape Kiwanda parking lot. There will be live music throughout the weekend and other activities including a parade starting at 11am on Saturday through downtown Pacific City. A fish fry will be held at Cape Kiwanda on Saturday, July 19 from noon to 4pm and Sunday, July 20 from 11am-3pm. To learn more about Dory Days, call or visit the Pacfic City-Nestucca Valley Chamber of Commerce. (503) 392-4340
