Festival of The Land is a diverse natural, cultural, and historical celebration of the land, and a chance for our community partners to share stories, knowledge, and hands-on learning opportunities with visitors of all ages. On State Parks Day, we will be celebrating the many cultures, histories, and connections that make this land one of Oregon’s truly special places.  New this year a community "quilt", an all-new Pollinator Station for kids, native flutist James Greeley and more!  Food trucks and a small farmer's market will be available for good food and cold treats.
