HAREFEST Returns July 16–18 as Oregon's Ultimate Rock Reunion
CANBY, Ore. — Thousands of classic rock fans will return to Canby July 16–18 as HAREFEST: The Mother of All Tribute Festivals returns to the Clackamas County Fairgrounds & Event Center for its 14th year.
But after 14 years, organizers say the music is only part of the story.
What began as a celebration of great tribute bands has evolved into one of the Pacific Northwest's favorite summer traditions. HAREFEST has earned the 2024 Oregon Festival & Events Association Festival of the Year award while building a loyal community that travels from across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and beyond.
"The bands are what bring people here the first time. The atmosphere and the friendships are what bring them back," said Jason Fellman, co-founder of HAREFEST. "After 14 years, HAREFEST has become a summer tradition for thousands of people, and seeing those reunions happen every July is incredibly rewarding."
The 2026 festival features three days of performances celebrating some of rock's greatest artists, including tributes to Queen, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, Def Leppard, Eagles, Mötley Crüe, Tom Petty, Rush, AC/DC, ABBA, Duran Duran, Foo Fighters, Judas Priest, Heart, Alice In Chains, The Cars, Bon Jovi, Steve Miller Band, Billy Joel, Boston, Beastie Boys, Iron Maiden, and more.
Beyond the music, attendees enjoy camping, food and beverage vendors, interactive experiences, and the welcoming atmosphere that has helped define the event since its beginning. Many fans return year after year—not just for the music, but to reconnect with friends, discover new bands, and kick off another unforgettable summer weekend together.
Known as "The Best Party of the Summer," HAREFEST is expected to welcome thousands of fans from throughout the Pacific Northwest for three days of live music, camping, and classic rock celebration.

Bureau of Land Management Ore. & Wash. - 07/08/26 9:11 AM
WASHINGTON – The Bureau of Land Management generated more than $10.7 million in revenue from timber sales during the second quarter of 2026, supporting American jobs and increasing domestic timber supply.
During the quarter, the BLM sold about 41 million board feet of timber across 1,500 acres in Oregon and California. That amount of lumber is enough to build nearly 2,600 homes and supports local economies and well-paying jobs in logging, milling, and construction.
The quarterly results come as recently confirmed BLM Director Steve Pearce visited western Oregon to meet with BLM employees, industry partners, and local mills about the BLM’s timber program and the work happening to support domestic timber production.
“This was such an important trip for me to take,” Pearce said. “It was great to see Americans doing real work on the ground. These folks are part of a crucial industry that is helping rebuild the economy from the ground up.”
The BLM plans to hold six timber sales in July 2026 to offer 31 million board feet of timber across almost 835 acres.
More information about BLM’s timber plans and results can be found at https://www.blm.gov/programs/natural-resources/forests-and-woodlands/timber-sales.
The BLM manages 58 million acres of forests—including 2.4 million acres in western Oregon—of some of the most productive forests in the world, and is committed to supplying a reliable, secure, and resilient domestic supply of timber. BLM forestry supports economic security, reduces risks from wildfire, conserves fish and wildlife habitat, and decreases costs of energy production. Local communities rely on jobs that come from BLM forests, and timber from public land feeds local industry.
More than 20% of BLM-managed lands are forest and woodland ecosystems. The BLM ensures the health and resilience of these public forest lands as well as the availability of traditional forest products, such as timber.
-BLM-
The BLM manages about 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
