What happens when rock ’n’ roll meets a generation gap ready to explode?

Join the Yamhill County History Museum for a fascinating look into a turbulent chapter of Oregon Coast history: "Secrets of the Past — Seaside Rock ’n’ Roll Riots 1962-1964: How a Coastal City's Labor Day Riots Heralded a Decade of Unrest."

In the early 1960s, American youth culture was shifting. Armed with a love for rock ’n’ roll—music older generations simply didn't understand—thousands of young people descended upon downtown Seaside over successive Labor Day weekends. What followed was a whirlwind of partying, fighting, dancing, and defiance that triggered mass arrests, injuries, and international headlines.

Come hear the incredible story of those three chaotic years and the lasting mark they left on the community, presented by award-winning journalist and author RJ Marx.
