Welcome To Downtown St. Helens

A 30 mile day trip destination from the Greater Portland Metro area. Nestled on the Columbia River. Home to filming locations of Twilight, Halloweentown, and, ahem, Paradise Records.

Come Shop endlessound. Make a Day Trip Out of It.

Downtown St. Helens has plenty to make a day out of. Grab a hoagie from Pretty Nice Deli, do some shopping while you wait for the best sandwich in St. Helens. There’s an interior door between the deli and us, so you can do both without even going outside.

From there, take your hoagie down to the beautiful stretch of the Columbia River we’re lucky enough to be on, wander through a few more shops, or catch a movie at the Columbia Theater (yes, the one from Halloweentown).

You can also use the SetJetters app to find filming locations from Twilight, Halloweentown, Paradise Records, and more.

It’s kind of crazy how much there is to do here. Come see for yourself.
