Each evening of the Eastern Oregon Film Festival concludes with live performances that celebrate the same creativity, originality, and community spirit found on screen. Festival after-parties at HQ bring filmmakers, audiences, musicians, and local residents together to continue the conversation long after the credits roll.
Featuring acclaimed artists from across the Pacific Northwest, the #EOFF2026 music lineup blends Americana, folk, indie rock, and psychedelic pop into three unforgettable nights of music, celebration, and community.
The nonprofit group is seeking volunteers and sponsors to support the festival as it transitions back downtown, where it belongs, while bolstering partnerships with Eastern Oregon University, The Liberty Theatre, and regional cinephiles.
