The Goonies, directed by Steven Spielberg and released on June 7, 1985, remains a beloved classic, drawing significant attention in its 40th anniversary. Astoria, Oregon, where the film was set and largely shot, hosts annual Goonies Day parties, enhancing its tourism appeal. This year's special celebrations from June 5-8 include a variety of activities, such as filming location tours and themed events. Notably, tours of the iconic Walsh home are also offered, supporting the local film museum's expansion efforts. These festivities underscore the film's enduring legacy and its cultural significance.
Astoria has thrown annual Goonies Day parties since 2005, but the town and the Oregon Film Museum are going all out for the 40th anniversary of the Gen X touchstone.
This year's weekend celebration, June 5-8, includes bus tours of filming locations, ticketed photo ops on the Truffle Shuffle stump, and an '80s prom.
The current owners of the Walsh home are even opening their doors for a limited number of tours, with proceeds going to the film museum's planned expansion.
The 2023 sale price of the 1896-built 'Goonies House,' where the Walsh family lived, was $1.65M.
