Fort Umpqua Days
02Sep2023Spend Labor Day Weekend immersed in small-town charm! The Fort Umpqua Days Festival is a two-day celebration of local history celebrated by the community of Elkton. We invite you to join us!
Start Saturday morning at ECEC with an outdoor pancake breakfast and then head downtown Elkton for the annual parade by the river.
Return to ECEC to spend the day wandering through local artisan booths while sipping on a glass from the wine and beer garden and listening to live music.
Don’t miss the pie auction on Saturday afternoon, the 5K run on Sunday morning or the community pageant in the evening.
Coming from out of town? Make a weekend of it and enjoy all the small-town fun Elkton has to offer!
