Royal Welcome 

As the 46^th Royal Lady of the Autumn Leaves I want to welcome you to the Bavarian Village of Leavenworth. I know you will be thrilled with the wealth of activities we have in store for you. Whether you are looking for a quiet stroll through downtown, shopping and browsing boutiques or your revved for some whitewater rafting, hiking or skiing, there is no end to the possibilities for having a spectacular visit here.

Come in the spring when the hillsides and mountains are ablaze with hundreds of thousands of balsam root flowers. 

Come back in the summer for a sunny day on the river, and an evening under the stars watching our Summer Theater's classic production of The Sound of Music. Play outside, dine outside, the weather is so accommodating, there is sunshine galore.  

Surely you will want to visit us in the fall, as we host Washington State's Autumn Leaf Festival in September, followed by three weekends of Oktoberfest.  

Winter will dazzle you with our snow frosted mountains and town twinkling with millions of lights, making our Christmas Lightings one of the most magical weekends you will experience.  

From shopping, to theater, from wineries to restaurants, from lodging to music, to the great outdoors of climbing, skiing and rafting ‑ Leavenworth offers all these world class experiences wrapped up in our own Bavarian hospitality. 

Like Renee Zellweger's famous line from Jerry McGuire," You had me at Hello", we are hoping Leavenworth will have you at Herzlich Wilkomen.
