The Oregon Country Fair is a place where many volunteers work hard to create this "wonderland". It is a unique event that celebrates creativity, community, and care for the Earth. Fair organizers want people to be part of a culture of consent. ("Consent" means permission for someone to do something.) This means listening to others and respecting their rules or "boundaries".
The fair also cares deeply about protecting the Earth. It works to reduce its "carbon footprint" by asking people to bicycle, carpool, or take the bus to the event. The fair wants to have a very small impact on the land. All food containers and cups are compostable or can be used again. There are special "green compost receptacles" for trash.
Tickets cost $50 to $150 and must be bought online at aftontickets.com/OCF2025. They are not sold at the fair entrance. Children 12 and under can enter for free. Taking the shuttle bus is easy and free with a fair pass, departing from Valley River Center and downtown LTD station. There is no public camping allowed directly on the fair site.
