Join Ag Fest for a fun and festive educational experience for the entire family April 25–26 at the Oregon State Fairgrounds in Salem, Oregon.

Last year, over 23,000 people attended Ag Fest to touch, taste and experience the incredible world of Oregon agriculture, in a fun-filled, festive environment. The two-day event, aimed to help families better understand where their food, fiber, and flora come from, is a unique learning experience where hands-on exhibits make learning about Oregon’s vast agricultural industry educational and entertaining.

Ag Fest strives to bridge the gap between urban and rural life, and to share the wonder and abundance of Oregon’s bountiful and diverse harvest.

Most importantly, this is accomplished in a family friendly way, where kids 15 and under receive free admission, and virtually all activities at the event are free of charge. Thanks to Ag Fest sponsors, kids ride ponies, plant seedlings, watch sheep get sheared, pet farm animals and much, much more!

Make sure to stop by the Plant Something Oregon booth in “Ag Country” in the Columbia Hall, where each person in your family can pick a seedling and plant it in a pot to take home with you.

Tickets are $15 for those ages 16 and older, free for children 15 and younger.

Hours are 8:30 a.m.–5 p.m. Saturday, April 25 and 10 a.m.–5 p.m. on Sunday, April 26.
