2024 Labor Day Weekend

The last summer hurrah before school starts again, and what a glorious Labor Day weekend it will be! Cherish the waning leisure-filled days by checking off the remaining items on your bucket list. This is the weekend to go camping along the Oregon Coast or up in the Cascades. Take a dune buggy ride or go river rafting. Head out to Alton Baker Park, Fern Ridge or Dorena Lake to rent a canoe, kayak or paddleboard while the concessionaires are still camped out.

Use Labor Day to drive or cycle the scenic back roads to local wineries or follow the Eugene Ale Trail around town. Or just browse Oregon's many antique shops and second-hand stores. 

Wine Country

It's been a local tradition to visit our wineries over the Labor Day Weekend. Enjoy live music and special festivities at many of the wineries.
