Eclipse, Smash Mouth to headline multi-day festival in Klamath County
KLAMATH COUNTY, Ore. – Centered around the once-in-a-generation annular eclipse - EclipseFest23 is coming to Klamath County on Saturday, October 14, 2023. The festival brings an immersive exciting experience to Klamath County, October 10-15. The event hosts five days of camping and three days of festival activities, food & drink, and vendors.
On Saturday, attendees will enjoy the continued festival atmosphere, along with the main event – viewing of the annular eclipse. Later that evening, late 90s pop band Smash Mouth will rock the festival venue with their hits that will appeal to all ages.
Northern Klamath County, home to Crater Lake National Park, offers unobstructed views of this year’s annular eclipse and the opportunity to share the experience with other eclipse chasers, families, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts. The site of the festival boasts nearly four-and-a-half minutes of eclipse viewing, among the highest in the narrow eclipse path. This is Oregon’s last major eclipse of the generation.
No other eclipse will be viewable in North America (after the southern-to-east-coast total eclipse in 2024) for 26 years.
All-Festival Passes, which include entry Thursday through Sunday, are available at EclipseFest23.com with an Early Bird price of $120. The All-Festival Pass also includes a ticket to the Smash Mouth concert. Kid passes and individual day passes are also available. Tickets go on sale mid-May and are only available on EclipseFest23.com. Camping spaces allow for tent sites as well as RV pull-through sites and can be reserved for October 10 – October 15.
Also on the website are applications for artisans, food trucks, and general vendors for the event. Vendors must apply online and will receive notifications if they are selected.
EclipseFest23 is partly organized by Impressions Design and Marketing and the Klamath Freedom Foundation.
