Coffin races, parades, celebrations

We have nothing like these events where people come together, all the weird fun things that make eugene great. I miss when eugene felt vaguely like one big fucked up family

From what I’ve seen as a participant in some recent downtown events, the City of Eugene Cultural services works damn hard to create some great programming throughout the year, but a lot of the times people don’t know about it or it just falls a little flat. They’re a small team and would probably love suggestions of what people will actually show up for. I’ve noticed a lot of what they do is try to recreate elements of what the Eugene Celebration offered but nothing will ever be the same. And ffs, people need to leave the damn house and SHOW UP. There’s some ok music calendars out there but is there a central location people can look to to learn about events like this? Other than the weekly?

They tried to do a big tree lighting/holiday night out at Kesey last wknd but for some reason did it on the same day as Springfield’s parade and the duck game so there’s also that unfortunate planning that happens

Check out www.eugjams.com There’s a fairly comprehensive music and events calendar!

cultural services has done so much cool stuff. I suggest people follow them on social media or bookmark their site and check it regularily
