The Sutherlin Blackberry Festival is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization. Every year we purchase a vehicle to raffle off. Those funds allow us to purchase the next years vehicle and to give away scholarships to local high school students in Sutherlin and Oakland, Oregon. We also have a new scholarship program providing students with scholarships to Trade Schools.

We are a drug and alcohol-free event for the whole family. We have a Poker Run, Car Show, Motorcycle Show, Pancake Breakfast, Blackberry & Chili Cook-offs, Church in the Park, BMX races, a Diaper Derby, a Cruise-in, a live Cruise downtown, and the Mud Races. We have Food & Craft Vendors plus a Swap Meet. On Sunday we raffle off the current years vehicle. Tickets are $5 each and sold throughout many local businesses in Sutherlin starting as early as April.

The Blackberry Arts Festival is a juried art and craft festival that has been happening consecutively for over 40 years. It was started to highlight the works of local artists and crafters during the annual harvest of the blackberry. It features an impressive array of metalwork, jewelry, quilts, candles, hand-painted clothing, wine, carved wood, and much more available for purchase. The festival also includes food vendors. It is not hard to find food and craft featuring the blackberry. This is a free event with activities centered on Central Avenue in downtown Coos Bay.

Boasting 79 years of family fun with a parade, festival market, evening street dance and more. You’ll enjoy live music and performing arts, classic cars and farm equipment, sports and tournaments, art exhibits and craft markets, shopping and dining, and above all, the bitterly-sweet, locally-famous cranberry-eating contest.

Pre-festival activities begin on Thursday evening with the Cranberry Queen coronation. Local events continue Friday morning with the Cranberry Kitchen contest and run throughout the day with local high-school volleyball and football games.

The main public festival will be held September 13-14, 2025. The annual Cranberry Parade kicks off the main festivities on Saturday morning.
