Pollinator Festival 2026
Join us to celebrate the long-awaited return of the Dancing Oaks Pollinator Festival on Saturday, June 20th, during National Pollinator Week.
Pollinators of all kinds - insects, birds, and mammals - are vital to our food production systems and the vitality of our natural environments. As home gardeners, we have the power to support pollinators by dedicating even small corners of our gardens with plants that provide food and habitat. Together, we can create essential micro-ecosystems that work together to support our pollinators.
The day will include local food vendors, educational activities for all ages, pollinator-friendly plants for sale and giveaway, and opportunities to connect with regional gardening and conservation organizations. The entire nursery will be open during the event, so guests are encouraged to explore the gardens and greenhouses throughout the day.
Local education partners will be on hand to answer all your pollinator and gardening questions.
Participating organizations include:
- Linn County Master Gardeners Association
- Mid-Willamette Bird Alliance
- OSU Extension Polk County Master Gardener Program
- Polk Soil and Water Conservation District
Food Trucks:
Divine Distillers, new owners of 1859 Cider Company
The entire nursery is open during the event, so you’re welcome to browse the greenhouses and gardens while you’re here!
