‘The Bus Fair’ in Oakridge Features “Skoolies”
The Bus Fair, featuring up to 30 school buses converted into motorhomes, a.k.a. “Skoolies,” will be featured at Greenwaters Park in the small mountain town of Oakridge, Oregon, from June 23-25, 2023. Friday is a special and limited ticket for educational seminars with industry leaders; while Saturday and Sunday, the gates open at 11 a.m. for the general public to come see what “bus life” is all about.
A large number of art and food vendors will be intermixed with the Skoolies and live music fires up Saturday afternoon at 3 p.m. with sets performed by Alder Street, Sugar Pine String Band, The Sugar Beets and headliner Kelly Thibodeaux and the Etouffee Band.
With so much to see and do, the event will open its gates again on Sunday, June 25, at 11 a.m. for a final day of art, food, adult beverages, and Skoolie tours. We encourage everyone to come check out this awesome event.
