NEW EVENT CHANGES FOR 2026

  • No entry will be permitted after 8pm
  • Clear Bag Policy -  In alignment with other large events in Eugene, we are implementing a clear bag policy for Chefs' Night Out in 2026. For the safety of our community, attendees at Chefs' Night Out may bring in one (1) clear bag no larger than 14" x 18" x 6". Exceptions: guests may bring in one small clutch or purse for privacy.   

    There will be signs at the venue reminding attendees about the policy. Coat check is not available, and re-entry is not allowed. We appreciate your understanding.
