The Englewood Forest Festival is located in Salem’s historic Englewood Park with hundreds of towering mature trees. We celebrate the arts, nature, and community in a free family-friendly festival sharing the diverse talents of local artists, musicians, performers, and environmental nonprofits. The festival provides music and entertainment on two stages and free family-friendly activities for all ages to learn more about the Englewood Forest environment. Visitors attend the festival from Salem, the Mid-Willamette Valley, Washington, and California.

Englewood Park is Salem’s first park and highlights a 7-acre native remnant forest of Oregon white oak and Douglas fir trees. It is a popular summer gathering place and provides a wonderful setting for the festival. The park contains a large native pollinator garden, 2 playgrounds, a horseshoe game, benches, picnic tables, and splash fountain, perfect for an August day.

The 2024 Englewood Forest Festival was sponsored in part by a grant from the City of Salem Transient Occupancy Tax, the Marion Cultural Corporation, Fischer, Hayes Joye & Allen, Salem Leadership Foundation, Northeast Neighbors Neighborhood Assoc. (NEN), GreenSpaceDesign by Jude, Unitus Community Credit Union with support from Uptown Music, N2 Community Partnership Team, Storyteller for Good, Heritage Seedlings, Enlace Cross-Cultural Development, the Cultural Trust, our neighborhood, and wonderful community volunteers.

THANK YOU!
