In 2025, Bandon will celebrate the 79th Annual Bandon Cranberry Festival, sponsored by Rogue Credit Union. The festival is held each year to recognize local cranberry farming through education, entertainment and fun for all ages. The Rogue Credit Union Cranberry Festival is a lively introduction to our community, as well as a time-honored tradition for residents. Boasting 79 years of family fun with a parade, festival market, evening street dance and more. You’ll enjoy live music and performing arts, classic car show and farm equipment, sports and tournaments, art exhibits and craft markets, shopping and dining, and above all, the bitterly-sweet, locally-famous cranberry-eating contest.

Pre-festival activities begin on Thursday evening with the Cranberry Court Coronation. Local events continue Friday morning with the Cranberry Kitchen contest, and run into the evening, ending with the Cranberry Bowl Football Game.

The main public festival will be held on September 13-14, 2025, with the annual Cranberry Parade kicking off the main festivities on Saturday morning.
