Shop & Eat

Exhibitors & Shopping Great deals and fabulous food can be found in Keizer along River Road and at Keizer Station. During the main Iris Festival days in May there are even more marvelous opportunities for shopping and munching. Exhibitors from around the Pacific Northwest set up displays and booths along Wittenberg Lane and the Fun Center located at Keizer Rennaissance Inn. You’ll find plenty to see, do, and sample.

Home & Garden Show presented by US Bank—May 16-18. A “green” home can mean more than just painting the living room with the newest shade of sage. Solar panels and reflective window tinting are just a few examples of the products and services found at the US Bank Home & Garden Show at this year’s Keizer Iris Festival. What’s more, decorative home, garden, patio, and landscape goods will be on display.
