Hoot & Holler!
A guide to the
events of summer.
From music festivals to county fairs, there’s no shortage of terrific events to keep you busy this summer. We’ve put together a month-by-month listing of big and
small events (as many as we could fit — by no means definitive) happening both in and away from Eugene. Check out as many as you can, but remember — schedules
and line-ups are always subject to change. Check online or by phone to confirm details.
