Goonies Never Say Die
The Goonies is a favorite movie from the 80s and many of its scenes were filmed in and around Astoria. We see many fans of the film visiting our community each week, some making the journey just to see the “goondocks” themselves and others adding it on to a trip to the Northwest or Astoria.

Goonies Events
Back in 2005 we held an community wide event to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Goonies theatrical release. The event included appearances by actors Jeff “Chunk” Cohen, Curt “Mr. Perkins” Hanson and Sean “Mikey” Astin, bus tours to locations with guided tours of THE house, bowling night at “Chunk’s Alley,” several opportunities to meet other fans including a VIP Dinner gathering with local crew, Cohen and Hanson, and of course many showings of The Goonies at our local theater.
