Corvallis Fall Festival History
The first small community arts festival was held in 1973 and has since grown into one of the best arts and crafts festivals in the Pacific Northwest. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the festival continued to evolve, attracting more artisans and introducing features like a wine garden for local wineries. In 1992, to celebrate the 20th anniversary, the Corvallis Fall Festival expanded to three days.
