The answer
Oregon Country Fair is a three-day art, music, and food gathering on private land in Veneta, Oregon, about 12 miles west of Eugene on Highway 126. The official site lists the 58th annual Fair on July 9, 10, and 11, 2027, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Enter from OR-126 at Maple Gate — do not enter from Suttle Road. Address posted: 24207 OR-126, Veneta, OR 97487. No tickets are sold on site. Children 12 and under do not need a ticket per the Fair FAQ (confirm the year you go). 2027 tickets were posted on sale February 1, 2027, with three-day $150 and single-day $50 before June 16, then $60 — prices move, so use oregoncountryfair.org/tickets/. Office: 442 Lawrence St., Eugene, 541-343-4298. Shawna Locken will not let a Fair weekend pick a Veneta house. If Fern Ridge and west-metro pace are the life, tour Veneta in January. If you only come for July, keep the Eugene address and buy tickets early.
Fair logistics vs the west-metro housing file
| Official note | What locals feel | Housing |
|---|---|---|
| Jul 9–11, 2027 · 11–7 | One weekend. Roads are not typical Veneta. | Do not tour houses that Saturday |
| No on-site ticket sales | Buy ahead or miss it | Not a walk-up festival |
| Maple Gate off 126 | Do not GPS Suttle Road as the entrance | 126 west is the commute every other week |
| LTD shuttle encouraged | Parking and 126 backups are the product | Measure a non-Fair commute |
| Fern Ridge next door | Lake, wind, birds the rest of the year | West-metro water file |
| Eugene office 442 Lawrence | Year-round org in downtown Eugene | The Fair is Veneta; the office is not |

Veneta homes — if west 126 is the life, not a costume weekend

This is a visitor brief, not the Fair’s homepage
oregoncountryfair.org owns tickets, rules, and the culture. We own the relocator question: is Veneta home, or is this a ticketed weekend from Cal Young? Fern Ridge is the water page. This URL hunts the Fair query.
Buy tickets before you leave town
No on-site sales. The Fair’s FAQ is explicit. Shuttle or carpool. Vehicles with non-ticketed passengers get sent off the property. Children 12 and under are free on the current FAQ — confirm, because another Fair page has used 10 and younger.
Veneta the other 362 days
Grocery, schools, wind off the reservoir, and a 126 commute at 5:30 p.m. are the file. Fair weekend is a carnival overlay. Tour in January. Wineries on the way home are a different Saturday.
