For some people, summer can get downright trashy — groggy day-
drinking extravaganzas and playing beer pong for hours in the hot sun —
but it doesn’t have to be that way. Maude Kerns Art Center’s 34th annual
Art and the Vineyard Festival is a chance to take in some culture July
2 through 4. The festival, which started as a small art auction and wine-
tasting event, has now become the premier art and wine festival in the
southern Willamette Valley, according to its website. The festival is all-
ages and includes a “Youth Art Arena” for younger children to do arts and
crafts. For adults, there will be wine tasting from various wineries in the
region and a beer garden sponsored by Hop Valley. There will also be
an international food court with a little something for everyone. As for art,
the Artists’ Marketplace will be filled with artists from Oregon and beyond
selling paintings, photographs, sculpture, jewelry and more. There will
also be live music throughout on all three festival days, and the last day,
July 4, will have a fireworks show. The festival is open from 10 am to 7:30
pm Sunday, July 2, and Monday, July 3, and 10 am to 8:30 pm Tuesday,
July 4. Tickets are $10 a day or $25 for a three-day pass. Youth ages 6 to
14 get in for $5 a day and children under 5 are FREE. For more info, visit
