Upcoming Street Faires

Our Fall 2025 ASUO Street Faire is scheduled to occur Wednesday, October 15, 2025, through Friday, October 17, 2025. Our Spring 2026 ASUO Street Faire is scheduled to occur Wednesday, May 6, 2026, through Friday, May 8, 2026. New: Vendors can apply for both faires with one application. Both of the faires will operate from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on both Wednesdays and Thursdays and from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Fridays. As in previous years these events will take place along 13th Avenue in the heart of the UO’s Eugene campus. There will be a different layout to accommodate city safety regulations and current campus construction. We invite you to become part of one or both of these events which will undoubtedly be the highlight of each season for our Duck students, faculty members, staff, and general community. 

We invite you to check this website and links within often for information about this faire and future ASUO Street Faires.

Participate as an ASUO-Recognized Student Organization

ASUO-Recognized Student Organizations are encouraged to share information about their club’s mission with the university community by hosting a table and/or scheduling a performance. This is also a great opportunity to recruit new members.

Tabling takes place in designated spaces adjacent to the fair, and tables are provided for you. ASUO waives the tabling fee so that ASUO-Recognized Organizations may participate at no cost. Most booth spaces are available at reduced costs.

Recognized organizations must complete an application before the application deadline. ASUO-Recognized Student Organizations should use the ASUO Street Faire UO Affiliate Application linked above.

The Application Process

We wish we could squeeze in every vendor who applies to the Street Faire, but alas, constraints are such that we cannot guarantee every application will be accepted. We value a diverse array of vendors. If we receive more applications than we have space available, will make the difficult decisions about which vendors may participate. As in past years, prior participation as a vendor does not guarantee acceptance.

Tips for Getting In

• Detailed product/exhibit descriptions—complete with photos—help our student event managers understand specifically what you plan to sell/promote. It’s important that what you sell/promote is well-suited to the student clientele.
• We are Oregon. We like uniqueness. Help us understand how your food, wares, or exhibits stand out from other vendors. We may need to limit the number of vendors offering similar wares or menus.
• Tell us how we can meet your unique needs. If your vehicle cannot be on an incline, if the tongue of your food cart faces a unique direction, if you have accessibility requirements, if you would have difficulty being placed on grass, dirt, or woodchips, or if your staff have life-threatening allergies to certain foods, we need to be informed. It is very difficult for us to make accommodations for you after you arrive. We cannot guarantee that your special requests will be fulfilled; if they cannot, we will communicate with you.
• Deadlines are important. We’ve carefully aligned our due dates with our detailed decision-making process. Please ensure your fully completed application and application fee arrive by the deadline. Likewise, if selected, pay your booth fees before the deadline. Only fully completed/paid applications will be considered, and space will be forfeited if booth fees aren’t received by selected applicants before the deadlines.
• Electronic applications and payment are preferred, though we know that may not be possible for all business owners. PDF or paper applications can be requested via email, telephone, or in person. Completed PDF scans of applications may be returned via email. Application fees may be mailed to arrive before the deadline. Completed print applications and application fees can be dropped off in person at our office, located on the ground floor of the Erb Memorial Union, Suite 004. We are generally available Monday–Thursday, 9:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m., and Friday, 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. (Summer hours and paper application deadlines vary—check the application for details.)
