More info on the protest and other events on Saturday March 28th.
A coordinated “No Kings” protest is set to take place across Corvallis on Saturday, March 28, with organizers planning a multi-location demonstration throughout the city.
The protest is part of a broader nationwide day of action focused on opposing authoritarianism and supporting democratic principles. Similar events are scheduled in cities across the country, with Corvallis serving as one of several gathering points in Oregon.
We also listed some alternative events and other happenings on March 28th. Saturday is shaping up to be a busy day in town. Weather is supposed to be high of 61° and cloudy, no rain.
Where and When
The event is expected to run from 12:00pm to 3:00pm, with activities spread across three key locations:
Oregon State University (McNary Field) - opening remarks at 12:00pm
Central Park - speakers, music, and family-friendly activities
Benton County Courthouse - final gathering and a planned “Dance for Democracy”
Participants are expected to move between locations via a march along Madison Avenue, one of the city’s primary east-west corridors. Organizers note that attendees can join at any point along the route or remain at a single location, depending on preference.
