OFEA Membership

The Organization for Festival & Event People

From giant outdoor festivals to intimate charity fundraisers, special events play a unique and vibrant role in Oregon life. Their impact on tourism and local economies is undeniable, but equally important is the sense of community that events can build.

The Oregon Festivals & Events Association is designed to make life easier for event people of all kinds. OFEA is composed of event producers, sponsors, entertainers, volunteers, vendors and suppliers from throughout the state. Together, we share information, resources and contacts to make our events more successful.

If you produce events, supply events, entertain at events, go to events ... Join us!
