Willamette Valley Arts & Culture

The valley’s vibrant culture is steeped in the agrarian roots of its past, and the traditions inspired by two of the state’s premier academic institutions: University of Oregon in Eugene and Oregon State University in Corvallis. Catch rodeo fever at Philomath Frolic & Rodeo, and step back in time to experience pioneer history at over 700 historic buildings in Albany, including the Monteith House, a Queen Anne Victorian home. Study Oregon’s natural and cultural history at the UO Museum of Natural and Cultural History or take in a performance of the Eugene Opera and Eugene Ballet at the acclaimed Hult Center for Performing Arts. Farther north, catch sidewalk art, live music, and independent movies at Corvallis’ da Vinci Days, or line dance at Oregon Jamboree, the Northwest’s premier country music and camping festival.
