Get ready to tap your toes and smile wide—live music is coming to Planet Palooza! We’re thrilled to feature Wild Hog in the Woods, an Oregon string band known for their high-energy blend of old-time, swing, sleaze-jazz, ragtime, blues, and tin-pan alley tunes. With banjo, mandolin, stand-up bass, guitar, and even a musical saw, their playful spirit and musical chops promise a foot-stomping good time. As they like to say, “Nobody leaves without a grin!”
Participating Organizations
Chintimini Wildlife Center reptiles are being brought to the event by Oregon State Credit Union. Free snacks have been donated by Darkside Cinema and Trader Joe's.
We are grateful to the many community organizations making Planet Palooza possible. These partners will be leading engaging, hands-on activities at the Solutions Fair to educate, inspire, and connect us to a more sustainable future. Thank you for your support and creativity! Support for the event and volunteer appreciation provided by G. Christianson Construction.
