Summertime in Oregon is a time to get out and get as much sunny activity in as possible before the months and months of rain return. But, it’s also a great time to get some relaxation time in too. You can do both of those things this weekend at McKenzie River Lavender’s annual Lavender Festival. Just east of Springfield there will be fields of lavender in bloom for U-Pick opportunities, as well as lavender starts for sale if you want to grow some at home. There will also be arts and crafts activities, live music, food and kid-friendly activities. McKenzie River Lavender will also have its own lavender products for sale, such as lavender oil, lotion and honey. The Lavender Festival is 10 am-5 pm Friday through Sunday, July 7-9, at McKenzie River Lavender (40882 McKenzie Highway).
