your own masterpiece.
A glass of wine and some tasty bites will help to
unleash your inner creativity!
Join us for an evening of wilderness and woods… of creating a peaceful painting that evokes calm and quiet. You can do this just with paint – and I’ll show you how! I’ll teach you some techniques for adding depth, shadow and realism in a step-by-step process that you’ll do entirely by yourself! Grab some friends and make a night of it – See you there!
Cost is $45 per person. Call 541-974-4457 for more information.

The biggest event in Harrisburg is the Old Fashioned 4th of July celebration. Get a good nights rest on July 3rd so you can be ready for activities on July 4th that begin in the morning and do not end until the glow of fireworks fades. It doesn’t matter what day the 4th of July falls on. We always celebrate the 4th of July, on the 4th!
Harrisburg still honors our nations birthday today much the way it was done a hundred years ago–and we hopefully will be doing it the same way in another hundred years!
Food, parade, games, vendors, free entertainment and of course fireworks. Friends, family, and fun. That is what a community 4th of July should be!
2016 Parade Theme: Harrisburg 150th ~ Past & Present
2016 Grand Marshall’s: Harrisburg Mayors – Past & Present
Fireworks start at dusk! (9:30/9:45)
The 4th of July Celebration is organized by the Harrisburg Festival and Events Association. The fireworks and activities are supported entirely by donations from generous individuals and companies. If you would like to donate to help us put on a great celebration, please contact Rhonda Giles at 541-729-5492.
