History of Eugene Celebration:
The Eugene Celebration was created in 1983 by the City to bring together
the Eugene community for three days of fun. In 1997, the City offered
the management of the Celebration to the public and private sector.
Downtown Eugene, Inc. stepped forward to accept the offer. In April
1998, Downtown Events Management, Inc. (DEMI) was created to manage the
Celebration as well as create and manage a year-round calendar of
events.
Today the Celebration is the largest and most celebrated civic event in
the southern Willamette Valley and attracts nearly 100,000
participants during the three-day period. The Celebration is anchored by
up to eight performance stages located throughout the streets, parks and
open spaces of downtown Eugene. The stages are linked by street
performers, face painters, food vendors, beverage gardens, a
marketplace, a special venue showcasing up to 100 non-profit groups, an
extensive KidZone area, the Celebration Parade and Pet Parade, Sporting
Events (Cycling Classic) and much, much more.
