Eugene Family Scoop - Week of February 16-19, 2026

Hi friends!

We have an activity-packed week for Eugene & Springfield families! Catch a free movie night in the Market Alley on Wednesday with Tangled, and if you've been thinking about Montessori — don't miss the Ridgeline school tour Tuesday night with the lottery deadline this Sunday!

Teens can battle for world domination in a giant floor board game at Springfield Library and sculpt their own clay whistle at the Downtown Library.

Plus all your favorite recurring storytimes, open gyms, swim times, and more!
