Eugene Celebration

Eugene Celebration

The Eugene Celebration is an annual community celebration and civic event held in downtown Eugene, Oregon, United States. Featuring bands and performers from throughout the Pacific Northwest, the three-day festival is held in early September and attracts more than 40,000 attendees each year. The parade held on Saturday morning features the newly crowned Slug Queen.

The Celebration was created in 1983 as a way to bring together members of the Eugene community for a weekend of music and festivities. Currently managed by Downtown Events Management, Inc. (DEMI), a Eugene-based non-profit corporation, the Eugene Celebration works to bring attention to community issues and concerns regarding environmental responsibility within the greater context of a weekend festival.

Recurring features at the celebration include the "Community Causeway" where nonprofit, charitable and advocacy organizations promote their services and, as of 2007, the "Sustainability Village" where Celebration participants can learn about sustainable lifestyle choices.
