Escape without having to go too far when you plan to spend a little romantic time together on a date at Hendricks Park. This is Eugene's oldest city park and it offers several natural amenities that will make your time together quite memorable. Over its sprawling 78 acres, the two of you will find a mature forest to marvel at, a highly-recognized rhododendron garden to admire, and several winding trails on which to stroll casually hand in hand.
If it's a must-see show or performance, it's bound to be happening at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts. In addition to an impressive schedule of musical and dramatic performances, you'll also encounter a truly stunning permanent art collection on display at this incredible entertainment venue. The Hult is also the residence of such companies as the Eugene Ballet, the Eugene Concert Choir, and the Eugene Symphony.
There are classic events, and then there are classically classic events like the Oregon Bach Festival held the last part of June and into early July. Under the superb leadership of Helmuth Riling, the festival presents the choral and orchestral masterworks of Sebastian Bach. The event is held in Eugene at the University of Oregon's Beall Concert Hall and the Hult Center for the Performing Arts as well as other cities in Oregon.
