Oregon Country Fair

The Oregon Country Fair creates events and experiences that nourish the spirit, explore living artfully and authentically on earth, and transform culture in magical, joyous and healthy ways.

Our Purpose: The Oregon Country Fair is an annual three-day festival offering the finest in entertainment, hand-made crafts, delectable food and information sharing. The Fair takes place in Veneta, Oregon, about 15 miles west of Eugene. We are in a wooded setting with our own water and communication systems, security team, recycling service and much, much more. We enjoy a mutually cooperative relationship with our neighbors and a solid niche in the Veneta community.

History: Started in 1969 as a benefit for an alternative school, the OCF has a rich and varied history of alternative arts and performance promotion, educational opportunities, land stewardship and philanthropy.

The Land: Although the Fair is held only three days of the year, we are always stewards of the land on which it is held. Here are some of ways we practice “above all, reverence for the land.”
