We don’t just support events and experiences in Pendleton, now we’re creating them. Introducing Interwoven: Where Cultures Meet, a bold new fashion, art, food, and culture experience created by Travel Pendleton. October 15–17, 2026, Pendleton becomes the runway, the studio, and the gathering place—bringing Indigenous and Western voices together to honor tradition and imagine what’s next. Investing in artists, makers, designers, and stories that belong here. Welcome to Interwoven. Welcome to what’s next for Pendleton. Check out @interwovenoregon for insight and links to more information. This project was funded in part by a grant from Travel Oregon.

Yes, that was Marilyn Monroe you saw in Pendleton today. To commemorate the 100th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s birthday, Hamley & Co. is celebrating with a special release of the iconic Wildcat boot, the same style Marilyn wore in her final film role in The Misfits. A little glamour. A little grit. And a whole lot of Pendleton. 🤠

In Pendleton, craftsmanship isn’t measured by speed. Quality can be seen in the consistency of handwork, and every stitch reflects detail and intention. At Stapleman Custom Boot Shop, Richard Stapleman is using machines and tools more than 100 years old. This equipment, including a foot powered treadle sewing machine, is still part of the process, not for nostalgia, but because true craftsmanship never goes out of style. Richard brings decades of experience to every pair of boots or custom shoes made in this shop. Each design is made to order, a collaboration between maker and the customer. There are no rush orders here. No fast fashion assembly lines. Just quality, passion, and time-honored skill. Every stitch has a heartbeat. Every inlay is hand cut and shaped. Every boot is built to last a lifetime, not until next season. In a world chasing quantity and speed, the Pendleton craft community believes that beauty and legend are still in the making. Plan your visit today and make sure to build in time to appreciate the makers. #handmade #traveloregon #makersgonnamake #pendletonoregon #bootmaker

In Pendleton, hat shaping is more than a service—it’s part of the culture. Step inside one of many hat shops and studios and you’ll find steam rising and a tradition that’s been shaped and reshaped for generations. What begins as a simple form in felt or straw becomes something unmistakably yours. This is where personal expression takes shape. The material you choose. The crown you crease. The brim you bend. Color, texture, feel—every detail reflects your story. No two hats are alike. Travel Pendleton invites you to experience craftsmanship you don’t just see—you feel. Meet the makers. Learn the process. Shape something of your own and take a piece of Pendleton with you.

Did you hear about the time 23 Helens walked into a bar? Neither did we…until now. Caftans flowing, laughter booming, and just the right amount of mischief, this was more than a visit, it was a full-blown takeover. Somewhere between the boots and the sparkle, Mrs. Roper would be proud. Some call it romp. It was a full-blown boot scoot. This was such a fun group! Who should takeover Pendleton next? #mrsroper #pendletonoregon #travelpendleton
