This week in Lane County is buzzing with events that’ll pull you into the season’s shift—art, music, community gatherings and a dose of inspiration. On Friday, strap in for the spreading creative energy of the monthly downtown art stroll where galleries stay open late. On Saturday, the cheerful Holiday Bazaar at Campbell Community Center fills the room with support for local makers and thoughtful gift options. The ever-popular Picc‑A‑Dilly Flea Market opens its doors at the Lane County Fairgrounds on Sunday, offering treasure hunts, longtime vendor stories and eclectic finds. On Monday night, dive deeper into the world of mushrooms and ecology as Paul Stamets leads a talk at the McDonald Theatre on how a mycologist helps a community thrive. For the rest of the week, look for music, trivia nights, and social gatherings that keep the momentum going.
