Enjoy a whole week of celebration and activities connecting people to the history, culture, ecology and recreation opportunities in the Eugene-Springfield and greater Willamette Valley region.

This year, festival activities will be rolling out under Covid-safe guidelines, with many interactive opportunities planned, including a Kalapuya art and cultural language tour, a self-guided stormwater art tour and wildlife geo-cache, and a Willamette-wide “Great Greenway BioBlitz” (count all the species in your community’s greenway)! Take the PaddleCross Challenge this year as an independent virtually recorded experience – compete for some great prizes – or just paddle for fun! Bring your brushes to the river and paint your favorite place on the Willamette, and vote for your favorite through the Plein Air Paint Out! online People’s Choice Award. Join in on social media, and share your photos with #WRFest2020 for a chance to win in our online raffle, and enjoy a variety of educational paddle instruction and ecology videos as they are released over the week of the Festival.
