Englewood Park

The festival is located in 100-year-old Englewood Park, the first park purchased by the City of Salem. The shady woodland park is a highlight of the festival and has hundreds of mature trees including a 7-acre native remnant forest of Oregon white oak and Douglas firs. It is a popular summer gathering place and provides a wonderful setting for the festival. The park contains a large native pollinator garden, a splash pool, 2 playgrounds, a horseshoe game, benches, walkways, and picnic tables, perfect for an August day.
