EFS hosts contra dances, Morris dancing, Scottish Country dancing and Cascade Contras dance weekend! Two Rivers Morris is also part of EFS.

EFS hosts regular contra dances, open to the general public, usually on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month from September through May. We sometimes add "special" dances when exceptional talent passes through town. We also host a Cascade Contras Dance Weekend each year in October, and usually a summer party in August. These enthusiastic dancers meet on Thursdays to practice ancient English rituals with a Eugene twist.
