Each April, Ag Fest is presented as a two-day, hands-on, activity-filled festival. It’s held at the Oregon State Fairgrounds in Salem. The goal is to provide an educational experience for the whole family that is really fun. And, they keep it affordable! Kids age 15 and under are free!
With over 25 hands-on activities and an agricultural scavenger hunt that will have you looking for clues in all the exhibits, Ag Country is set-up to reflect a rural town. Watch chicks hatch, shuck corn, dig for potatoes and so much more! You will have the opportunity to plant seedlings, sample Oregon-made products, make a dirt baby, or choose from an array of other activities that make learning about life on the farm fun. All activities are free of charge and aim to gain a better understanding of where your food, fiber, and flora come from.
Activity highlights include: petting zoo; llama show; pony rides; tractor races; craft and garden show; clowns, face painting, and live music are just some of the attractions your family will enjoy.
Free for children 15 and under and free parking.
