(Yachats, Oregon) – Summer heats up and so do the central Oregon coast towns of Florence and Yachats, as July ushers in a host of large events. Major music festivals take over, aircraft come in for spectacular landings, helicopter rides are offered, and some big sports events take place. Then, don't forget the stunning Fourth of July displays put on by Yachats and Florence on July 4, but top of it off there's an extra day of festivities in Waldport the day before.
