Cherry Stomp Dance Revival
Description
After years of silence, the dance floor is coming back to life in The Dalles on Cherry Festival Weekend.
The Cherry Stomp Dance storms back into the The Dalles Civic Auditorium on April 25 at 7:00 PM — bringing the music, the memories, and the magic back to The Civic for one unforgettable night.
For longtime locals, Cherry Stomp isn’t just a dance. It’s a feeling. It’s packed floors, big guitars, friends singing at the top of their lungs, and the kind of electric energy that only happens when a community comes together.
This year’s return carries special meaning. The event comes back with the blessing of Randy Haines, whose name became synonymous with unforgettable live entertainment in The Dalles and legendary nights at The Civic.
Event organizer Tiffany Hardin, Operations Manager of The Dalles Civic and a lifelong local, shared:
“I grew up in The Dalles knowing that if Randy Haines was attached to a show, it was going to be good. Even as a kid, you just knew. I may have been too young to attend his events, but everyone talked about them. Later, I had the opportunity to visit with Randy while promoting events on his Friday morning radio show, and it was such a gift to connect with him and hear the stories of the great Randy Haines. He has an incredible history with The Dalles and with The Civic itself. It truly is an honor to bring the Cherry Stomp Dance back with his blessing and carry on this tradition. Randy told me he may not be able to be there physically, but he’ll absolutely be there in spirit, rockin’ the night away with all of us.”
Providing the soundtrack for the night is the high-energy, live band “Icons of Rock - Tribute Show,” delivering powerhouse tributes to legends like Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, Joan Jett, and Shania Twain, along with more iconic hits guaranteed to keep the dance floor moving all night long. Expect big vocals, blazing guitar riffs, fist-in-the-air anthems, and nonstop dancing.
A full bar and food will be available for purchase, setting the stage for the ultimate night out with friends. Whether you’re reliving the glory days of Cherry Stomp or experiencing it for the very first time, this is your chance to be part of a revived local tradition.
The Cherry Stomp Dance is proudly sponsored by Explore The Dalles and Copper West Real Estate.
