Things to do in Eugene

Upcoming concerts, markets, arts, campus events, family picks, and community gatherings.

November 5 through November 6

This is the running list of things to do in Eugene and Springfield over the next several weeks: concerts at the WOW Hall and the Cuthbert, shows at the Hult, markets in the Park Blocks, gallery openings, Ducks games, and the community events that usually hide across a dozen separate calendars.

We pull it together from public sources, link back to each one, and remove the duplicates so you are reading one clean list instead of bouncing between sites.

Narrow these things to do without leaving the page.

Questions people ask

What is there to do in Eugene?

Eugene's calendar leans heavy on live music, theater and arts, farmers markets, University of Oregon events, outdoor recreation, and family activities, and this page collects the upcoming ones in one place.

How is this better than searching Google or Facebook?

Instead of checking each venue, Eventbrite, and a stack of Facebook pages, this gathers those sources together, removes the repeats, and keeps a link to the original listing for every event.

Do you cover Springfield and the rest of Lane County?

Yes, Springfield is fully included, and nearby Lane County events appear when they are useful for local planning.
