Events
Since 1934, Merrill Oregon has hosted the Klamath Basin Potato Festival. The festival, honoring the farming heritage of the community, has evolved throughout the years and includes a parade, BBQs, live music, beer garden and more. This year’s Potato Festival Theme, “Potatoes, Still #1,” illustrates how potatoes have been the lifeblood of this community since the beginning when Merrill was founded in 1890.
This event is a designated Oregon Heritage Tradition.
