The Eugene Celebration will take
over downtown Eugene Sept. 14-16.
Charlie Johnson, the celebration’s
production director, said the event is
a time to see Eugene at its “wackiest.”
“The celebration is a typical Eu
gene block party,” he said. “It’s gen
uinely unique.”
The celebration, which is expect
ed to draw 80,000 people again this
year, will host a parade and 80 en
tertainment acts over the three day
event. These include more than 24
food booths, a kid’s zone, youth per
formances at the Hult Center and
various art displays.
For students who want to venture
outside of Eugene, Portland is already
celebrating the Portland Rose Festi
val, an event that combines parades,
entertainment and competitions.
Sponsored by Southwest Air
lines, the Grand Floral Parade be
gins Saturday at 10 a.m. and travels
from the Memorial Coliseum to
downtown Portland. Dragon Boats
will race in the Willamette River on
Saturday and Sunday. The
Willamette River will also be filled
with Navy ships as part of the Rose
Festival fleet week.
Other events include the Easter
Seals Chip to the Barge hole-in-one
competition, the Portland Arts Fes
tival, the Auto races and the Rose
Festival Air Show.
The Pepsi Waterfront Village, cur
rently taking up 16 city blocks, will
end Sunday.
“This year the village features a
thrill zone,” festival spokeswoman
Lyndee Cox said. “There will be
everything from paintball and rock
climbing to extreme rides.”
In August, Portland will also host
the Bite of Portland, a Special
Olympics fundraiser featuring 80
bands on seven stages, 20 restau
rants and 25 Oregon wineries.
“The event is free and there is a
lot of great food tasting to look for
ward to,” Festival Coordinator Clay
Fuller said.
A little closer to Eugene, Salem
will offer the Bite of Salem during the
last weekend in July and the Oregon
State Fair at the end of August.
The Bite of Salem will host 15
restaurants, live entertainment,
more than 25 carnival rides and a
beer garden.
“All the proceeds from the Bite will
benefit kids organizations such as the
Boys and Girls Club,” said Con Lynch,
chairman and event coordinator.
A larger event, the Oregon State Fair
will celebrate its 136th year in Salem.
The fair features carnival rides, ex
hibits, competitions and livestock.
This year’s theme, “Ain’t no place
I’d rather be,” will be the focus of
the 12 day event that starts Aug. 23
and ends Sept. 3.
“There are multiple generations
exhibiting things at the fair,” said
Diane Childs, the marketing coordi
nator for the fair. “Some of the ex
hibitors are the great grandchildren
of exhibitors from years past. ”
Just east of Salem, Silverton will
continue its tradition of hosting
Homer Davenport Days, a celebra
tion named after Silverton’s favorite
son, Homer Davenport, said Daven
port days President Ed Dixon.
Besides offering live entertain
ment, street dancing, art booths and
food booths, Davenport Days offers
the Davenport races. In a challenge
of business v. business, neighbor v.
neighbor, people race down main
street pushing homemade couches
on wheels.
If traveling east, Bend offers the
Cascade Festival of Music from
Aug. 25 to Sept. 1. The festival’s
Managing Director Mary Arnstad
said the festival will “open with
Beethoven, close with Bach and fea
ture everything in-between.”
Located in Drake Park on the De
schutes River, the festival will in
clude classical, Celtic, blues and
jazz music.
“It’s a casual, informal setting
where people can picnic,” Arnstad
said. “The location is just beautiful.”
