CityFest Returns to Klamath Falls, Saturday

The faith-centered community festival will bring free family activities, action sports, live music, worship and a Ryan Stevenson concert to downtown Klamath Falls.

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Greater Klamath CityFest returns to Klamath Falls on Saturday, May 30, bringing a faith-centered day of free family activities, live music, action sports, worship and community connection to downtown.

The event will take place along Main Street in downtown Klamath Falls during the afternoon before moving to Veterans Park for an evening worship gathering and concert featuring Ryan Stevenson.

This is the second time CityFest has come to Klamath Falls. The first Greater Klamath CityFest was held in 2023 at the Klamath County Fairgrounds, drawing thousands of people for a large community gathering centered on faith, music and outreach.

 
 

This year’s event shifts into the heart of downtown, with organizers inviting families, churches, local organizations and community members to gather for what they describe as a free day of “family, faith and fun.”

Afternoon activities are scheduled from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. along Main Street. The downtown portion of the festival is expected to include inflatables, carnival-style games, face painting, balloon art, a kids’ mechanical bull, local booths, community activities, food vendors and action sports demonstrations.

BMX stunt shows are scheduled at 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. near Eighth and Main streets, with a skateboard stunt show scheduled for 3:30 p.m. Live music is planned throughout the afternoon near Sixth and Main streets, while food vendors are expected to be stationed in the downtown festival area. Activities are free, though food purchases are separate.

The event will then move to Veterans Park for the evening portion of CityFest. A worship session is scheduled from 6:15 p.m. to 6:50 p.m., followed by a free concert by Christian recording artist Ryan Stevenson from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

Stevenson, a Bonanza native, is known nationally for his song “Eye of the Storm.” The song was nominated for Song of the Year at the 2017 Dove Awards and won Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year.

The event is free to attend and open to the public.
