Bandon Cranberry Festival

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.
