July Events at Columbia Crossings

Summer is in full swing and we and our vendors have a full schedule of events for you to get out on the water and enjoy this season!

4th of July: Pal's 1st Annual Lawn Chair Invitational

Saturday July 4th, 2026: 6:00 pm until 10:00 pm 

Fourth of July only falls on a Saturday every so often, and we're planning to make the most of it. Join us on the waterfront for an evening of food, drinks, music, and fireworks as we turn the lawn at Pal's into the best seat on the river. Bring your favorite lawn chair, settle in for the sunset, and enjoy a relaxed summer gathering with views of the Columbia River fireworks displays. We'll have DJ music throughout the evening, food and drinks available for purchase.

Jantzen Fuel Depot

Starting July 2nd, Jantzen Fuel Depot's updated extended hours will be Monday through Friday 10am-8pm, and Saturday & Sunday 9am-8pm. Columbia Crossings boaters will continue to receive 10¢ off per gallon. They have recently serviced their facilities and all four pumps are now up and running. 

Pal's Wine on the Deck

Every Tuesday | 4:00 PM  7:00 PM

The Pal's Wine on the Deck series continues ever Tuesday in July! Pals will welcome a different winery or importer each week to pour and talk through their bottles, paired with a simple seasonal menu from the kitchen and a relaxed seat on the deck overlooking the marina. Check out the Pal's website for menus and prices.

July 7, 2026 — Suzor Wines
We got introduced to Melissa and Greg from our friend Heather Wallberg when hunting for wine to go with oysters, and we’ve been friends ever since. 

July 14, 2026 — Mendivia Wines
What can we say about Colin, we’ve been friends since the bottling lines at House Spirits, this guy makes Spanish inspired wines to eat food with, simple as that.

July 21, 2026 — Vincent Wines
Our friend Vincent Fritzche is named eponymously for St. Vincent of Saragossa, the patron saint of winemaking, and it shows. Low input single varietal wines made from the valley, this guy’s a beast!

July 28, 2026 — Division Wine Co.
Kate and Tom have joined us many times out at The Suttle Lodge & Boathouse for wine on the deck and they know how to bring it correct, this peak summer time for them should be marked on the calendar now.

Pal's: Grill Time! With author Noah Galuten

Saturday July 11th 7:00pm

Join us on the lawn at Pal’s for a summer evening of live-fire cooking with Noah Galuten, chef and James Beard Award–winning cookbook author. We’ll be grilling up dishes from Noah’s new book, Grill Time! The late evening of high summer, relaxed, family-friendly walk around party with grilled food, drinks, and plenty of time to hang out by the water and meet the author.

Expect a cocktail-style evening with multiple live-fire stations from Thaan Charcoal inspired by the book, including a mix of seafood, like grilled clams from Hama Hama, vegetables, sausages from our friends at Olympia Provisions, and other summer-ready dishes cooked over the fire. It’s less a formal dinner than a really good outdoor party: come hungry, grab a drink, meet Noah and the family, and settle into a July night on the water.

Tickets include 2 drink tickets, access to the grilling lawn, and all the ice cold Spindrift sparkling water you can handle! We’ll have tickets for you to bring kids, as well as the option to purchase the book, thanks to Broadway Books, and have Noah personalize it for you! Register here.
