McDonald Theatre
Description
Eugene's best indoor venue for live music, featuring mostly nationally touring bands, and local flavor too! Kesey Enterprises is owned and operated by the Kesey family, well-known locally and nationally because of Ken Kesey, the iconic writer and prankster, and the Springfield Creamery, a successful business located in Eugene that produces the popular Nancy's Yogurt brand.
The Kesey family began to produce events under the business name Field Trip Productions back in 1972 with the historic Springfield Creamery Benefit concert featuring The Grateful Dead. The Kesey Family were also instrumental in producing The Grateful Dead concerts in Eugene's Autzen Stadium during the 80's and 90's.
In 2001 Kesey Enterprises Inc was formed to produce concerts and community events in the historic McDonald Theatre in downtown Eugene. The historical building was ultimately purchased by Kesey Enterprises, and the McDonald Theatre is now one of the most successful live music venues in the state.
With the success of the McDonald Theatre, Kesey Enterprises expanded its event production services to include the lease and management of the 5,000 capacity Cuthbert Amphitheater, as well as the management of the Eugene Celebration, the Oregon southern valley's largest and most celebrated 3-day community festival.
