Join us at our free celebration of the arts, nature, and community in beautiful, forested Englewood Park in Salem. The beloved family-friendly festival includes unique talents of local artists, musicians, dancers, environmental nonprofits and food vendors, as well as offering helpful community resources. Discover, connect, and have fun!

Watch a video of the 2024 festival here.

The free festival provides music and entertainment on two stages and dozens of free family-friendly activities for all ages to learn more about the Willamette Valley environment. Visitors attend the festival from Salem, the Mid-Willamette Valley, and Oregon.

The event is located in historic 100-year-old Englewood Park, the first park purchased by the City of Salem. The park 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, and picnic tables, perfect for an August day.
