The Oregon Country Fair: Magic in the Woods | An Oregon Art Beat Special (Full documentary)

The Oregon Country Fair is one of the longest running art and music festivals in the country, set in a 20-acre fairyland of forests and meadows just outside Eugene. Each July, nearly 15,000 people show up on each of the fair’s three days to wander wooded paths, experiencing handmade crafts, sampling food, and enjoying shows at 17 stages scattered throughout the fair. Started 56 years ago in the midst of a counterculture celebration, that spirit is still present, even as a new generation steps in to carry the vision forward. In this hour-long special, Oregon Art Beat introduces the artists, chefs, performers and volunteers who make it all happen. We explore the story of the Kalapuya who lived in this region over 10,000 years ago, and trace the fair’s roots back to its radical beginnings in the turbulent 1960s.
