About the Eugene Celebration
The Eugene Celebration, the southern Willamette Valley’s largest and most celebrated civic event, includes the Celebration Parade, and indoor and outdoor performance stages in downtown Eugene. Stages are linked by street performers, food vendors, beverage gardens, a marketplace, a Community Causeway showcasing up to 100 nonprofit groups, an extensive KidZone area, Sustainability Village, the Pet Stroll, a film festival and much more. Downtown merchants and venues also participate in special promotions and indoor performances throughout the weekend. The event attracts an average of 20,000 participants a day.
The Eugene Celebration was created in 1983 by the City of Eugene to bring the community together for three days of music and fun. In 1998, Downtown Events Management, Inc. (DEMI) was launched to manage the Celebration. DEMI is registered with the State of Oregon as a domestic nonprofit corporation, managed by an all-volunteer board of directors. The Celebration is produced and funded through grants, business sponsorships, private contributions, admissions fees, in-kind donations and volunteer support.
For the third consecutive year, the Eugene Celebration will be produced by Kesey Enterprises Inc., owner and operator of the McDonald Theatre and manager and operator of the city of Eugene's Cuthbert Amphitheater.
