About

The purpose of the Eugene River Festival is to bring the community together to enjoy and celebrate the Willamette River by highlighting its unique history, culture, ecology and recreation opportunities in Eugene and Springfield.  The Eugene River Festival is committed to family-friendly fun, with free opportunities for all to explore and enjoy the natural river corridor through a diversity of human-powered activities. The Festival also honors and recognizes that we are on Kalapuya Ilhi – the traditional indigenous homeland of the Kalapuya people who were here first, and who will always be here.  Our partnership provides a framework and space for all groups working to enjoy, protect and restore the Willamette River.
