Slug Fest

July 20 - 21, 2024 10:00AM - 4:00PM

May the slime be with you. Join us for the 40th anniversary of Slug Fest!
Free with admission.

Slugs, slugs and more slugs!

Slip, slime & slugs

It's the most unusual Northwest Festival ever - a celebration of slugs. Learn to see the world through a slug's perspective, craft and wear your own tentacles to become a slug, participate in human slug races, and more!

It's all about decomposition

Why do we have this zaniest of festivals? Well, if you've ever hiked a Northwest forest, you'll know our slugs are among the biggest and best - especially the yellow-green banana slug. But they're also vital to our ecosystem, breaking down organic matter and returning it to the forest floor, where it becomes food for our beautiful plants and trees. Long live slugs!
