Oregon Country Fair 1969-2009
 |
The Fair is officially middle-aged! Now older than many of its participants, the Oregon Country Fair celebrates this year with all of the joy, verve, sparkles, painted bodies and fairy wings the entire city knows and loves. We tell you where to take your kids, what to see on the main stage, how to get there with an eye to the planet and the plans to make the Fair a citywide presence all year. So slather on the enviro-safe sunscreen, grab a water bottle, buy your Green Ticket and hop the bus to what’s by far the largest party this area sees each year. Veneta, here we come! — Suzi Steffen

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
