Clatsop County Softball League Regatta Tournament
A Tradition Returns.
The Clatsop County Softball League is proud to announce the return of the Astoria Regatta Softball Tournament, officially in partnership with the Astoria Regatta!
For many years, this was one of the premier slowpitch tournaments on the Oregon Coast. Teams traveled from all over to compete, friendships were built, and memories were made. We’re honored to help bring this tradition back.
We know this year’s tournament isn’t taking place during Regatta Week—and that’s intentional. This is the first step in rebuilding something special. Our vision is to grow this tournament each year and return it to its rightful place as a featured event during Astoria Regatta Week.
This is where the comeback begins.
August 15–16, 2026
