Celebrate Oregon's Unique Cultures

Dreamers from all over the world traveled toward this great state long before the Oregon Trail. Native Americans gently worked the land and fished the waters for thousands of years, while many of our first Asian immigrants came during the Gold Rush of the late 1800s.

Today, there are Basque communities in Eastern Oregon, Scandinavian festivals at the coast and heritage events of all sorts – Italian Festival, Bastille Day celebrations, Scottish Highland Games – and you’re invited to each and every one.
