SEASIDE — What is Seaside’s connection to the song “Louie, Louie”? Where, when and how did the Miss Oregon Pageant begin? What was the Dahlia Parade about? How did Seaside recover from the dip in popularity as a family vacation spot after the riots in Seaside in 1962 and 1999?

Find out at the next History & Hops, a free local history lecture hosted by the Seaside Museum and Historical Society, at 6 p.m. Thursday, April 27, at Seaside Brewing Co. (851 Broadway St.).

Gloria Linkey, a Seaside native and author, will discuss the music, mayhem and merriment that has shaped Seaside.
