The World Athletics Championships Oregon22 are coming to Eugene, July 15-24, 2022.
WCH Oregon22 will be an unmissable global experience, and it will be taking place in the United States for the very first time. The best track and field athletes in the world will come together in a celebration of diversity, human potential and athletic achievement. This extraordinary showcase will take center stage in the heart and home of the sport of track and field in the U.S.: in Oregon, in Eugene, in Hayward Field at the University of Oregon.
As Eugene welcomes the world in this once-in-a-lifetime global event the City of Eugene and REVERE, an event production company, are working in tandem to create an event that is the cornerstone of a “never before experienced city celebration”, the Eugene Riverfront Festival at the new Downtown Riverfront Park. Our vision is to celebrate Eugene and Oregon and serve as the primary “experience hub” during the WCH Oregon22.
The Eugene Riverfront Festival is an opportunity for Eugene to welcome visitors and celebrate the diversity of cultures that make up Eugene.
