The Eugene Tea Festival was created to cultivate and celebrate the tea community in Eugene and Springfield, Oregon. Founded in 2019 by Madelaine Au, the first festival launched in May 2023 and is slated to occur annually in May. The annual festival is a sensational pour fest with interactive tea tastings, tea ceremony experiences, informative and fun workshops, and a vibrant marketplace, which includes offerings from local artists. The festival takes place in a single day in the Farmer’s Market Pavilion in downtown Eugene.
