About Pine Fest

12th Annual Pine Fest | September 11th & 12th, 2026

Pine Fest is a two-day music festival in Halfway, Oregon. There are two stages, the large one where the professionals play and a smaller one where the beloved & talented local musicians perform.

Conceived by Eric and Mimi Kauffman in 2012 to be the “Tiniest little festival in the tiniest little town,” Pine Fest has been presented every September since and was named “Best music Festival in Oregon” for 2016.

In this, the 12th festival, Pine Fest again offers great NorthWest bands on the main stage, as well as terrific local performers on the small one.

With it’s warm, welcoming and family-friendly atmosphere; great rockin’ music; good food, beer and wine; and comfortable setting on the lawn of the Pine Valley Fairgrounds, it doesn’t take long before nearly everyone – of all ages – is dancing.
