Englewood Forest Festival (EFF) is seeking artists, craftspeople, and authors from our Northeast neighborhood, Salem, and the Mid-Willamette Valley to participate in our sixth free annual festival scheduled for Saturday, August 10, 2024, in forested Englewood Park, 1260 19th St. NE, Salem from 10 am to 4 pm. Artists from other locations will be accepted though we prioritize local artists.

The Englewood Forest Festival is located in the heart of the Northeast Salem neighborhood in historic Englewood Park. It celebrates the arts, the environment, and community in a family-friendly festival sharing the diverse talents of artists, musicians, performers, and environmental nonprofits. The festival provides music and entertainment on two stages and free family-friendly workshops to learn more about the Englewood Forest environment.

Englewood Park is Salem’s first park and highlights a 7-acre native remnant forest with hundreds of towering Oregon white oak and Douglas fir trees. Most booths are in the shade or partial shade. It is a popular summer gathering place and provides a wonderful setting for the festival. The park contains 2 playgrounds, a horseshoe court, benches and picnic tables, and a summer splash fountain, perfect for an August day.
