Englewood Forest Festival

1260 19th Street NE · Salem, OR

Why you should go…

The Englewood Forest Festival is a free, family friendly community celebration held each August in Englewood Park, a seven acre native remnant forest in northeast Salem, Oregon. The festival showcases neighborhood artists, craftspeople, small businesses and musicians alongside nature themed activities such as pollinator viewing and native plant giveaways. Englewood Park's landscape was shaped in part by landscape architects Lord and Schryver and includes trees that predate Oregon's pioneer era.

Good to know

General attractions guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Book the time slot, not just the ticket

    Timed entry is now the norm at big-draw attractions, and online tickets are often cheaper than the gate.

  • Grab the daily schedule on arrival

    Feeding times, keeper talks, and shows run on a posted timetable that changes day to day.

  • The first hour is the quietest

    Queues build through late morning and peak after lunch, so an early start buys you the shortest waits.

  • Budget past the ticket price

    Parking, lockers, strollers, and food inside the gates are common extras worth planning for.
