Welcome to Cranberry Fest 2008!
For many years, cranberries have been one of the area's top agricultural crops, and Bandon has long been known as the "Cranberry Capital of Oregon."
According to the USDA, Oregon is expected to harvest about 500,000 barrels of the hardy, tart red fruit this year, about 8 percent above the 2006 crop, which was 465,000 barrels. That amount was up 14 percent from the 2005 crop of 440,000 barrels (a barrel is 100 pounds of berries). Nationwide, the crop is forecast at 6.90 million barrels. Of that total, Coos and Curry counties produce 4 percent.
Each fall, Bandon celebrates its annual Cranberry Festival to honor the industry that has provided a livelihood for hundreds of residents for many years. Join us for the 62nd annual Cranberry Festival in Bandon, Oregon!
