The story

Oregon Jamboree in Sweet Home

The Oregon Jamboree is the Northwest's premier country music and camping festival, held each summer on a twenty-plus-acre park-like site beside the historic Weddle Covered Bridge in Sweet Home, Oregon since its 1992 founding, with headliners historically including Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley.

Sweet Home, Oregon, a small town in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains built historically around the timber industry, needed a new economic anchor by the early 1990s as that industry contracted.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Set in the Cascade foothills on a site that includes the historic Weddle Covered Bridge, the Jamboree was founded in 1992 by Marge Geil and Leslie Ancke specifically as an economic-development project for Sweet Home, a small timber town looking for a new identity, and it grew into one of the region's largest country-music draws, hosting major national headliners over more than three decades

02

The mystery stays covered

The festival combines the concert lineup with RV and tent camping directly on site, beer and wine gardens, food booths and kids activities, giving it the character of a multi-day camping trip built around a country-music lineup rather than a single-day concert event
