1) What is Oregon Fest?  It’s a one-day, rain or shine, community event which draws over 10,000 people. It is a non-profit, family oriented, fun day.

2) Why does it happen?  Oregon Fest is simply a celebration of our community! An opportunity for families and neighbors to come together and enjoy each other. We seem to live in a “what’s in it for us” time, and this is a place for all of us to just “give back” and show our community pride.

3) Who makes it happen?  Oregon Fest happens because of the generous contributions of area businesses and individuals, and the donated time of local groups and organizations. Being sanctioned and supported by the City of Oregon, the Fest core committee is made up of only 8-10 volunteers. Eight months of planning begins in September to create a smooth, safe, fun-day for everyone involved: exhibitors, parade folks and those attending.

4) Where is Oregon Fest held?  Oregon Fest is held on Dustin Road in Oregon, Ohio. Dustin Road is 1/2 mile east of I-280 and one block south of Navarre Avenue (St. Rt. 2). It runs east from St. Charles Hospital to Coy Road.

5) How much does it cost to get into the Oregon Fest?  Admission is free.

6) How much does it cost to park?  Parking is free in the old Food Town parking lot on Navarre Avenue. Handicapped parking is available in this lot.

7) How can I sign-up to volunteer? You can sign-up to be an Oregon Fest volunteer by emailing us

8) How many hours must I work if I volunteer? Volunteers are needed from 9 am to 7 pm depending on the job. Working all day is a great experience but 2hr. and 4 hr. shifts can be scheduled.
