Welcome to Eugene, Oregon
a Great City for the Arts and Outdoors!
Thanks to the commitment to excellence we share with our residents and local partners in education, business, social services, and government, Eugene is emerging as a leader in smart growth, arts and culture, recreation, and environmental, economic and social stewardship. Whether you are looking for outdoor adventure or a quiet corner in our beautiful library, Broadway productions or home-spun repertory theater, political activism or a peaceful sense of community, Eugene has it all and we're delighted to share!
