Neighborhood Nonprofit Spotlight: Corvallis Fall Festival

The Corvallis Fall Festival shares its story with Patch.

Patch: Tell Patch a little bit about your organization!

Corvallis: This year marks the 44th annual Corvallis Fall Festival; a 2-day event created to serve, support and showcase the community of Corvallis and to help local arts thrive. Each year the festival fills our beautiful, tree-lined, downtown Central Park with 180 art booths, over 30,000 guests, 19 food booths, continuous live music and a vibrant Art Discovery Zone for children of all ages to engage in and create their own artwork. All artwork selected to be featured at the festival is considered original from concept through completion. Proceeds, after expenses, from the festival go toward supporting local arts and community enhancement projects chosen by the volunteer Corvallis Fall Festival Board of Directors. Corvallis Fall Festival is a 501(c)(4) not-for-profit organization.
