Kaiser Iris Festival Weekend

Each year Schreiner's Iris Gardens donates hundreds of field-fresh Iris stems to the Keizer Iris Festival and there is no better place to celebrate than at Schreiner’s Iris Gardens. Check out the beautiful floats in the parade in Keizer, then visit our 10-acre display garden in full bloom, join in a 5K or 10K walk through the irises, sample unique liqueurs from Spiritopia, and participate in the discussion of two interesting iris demonstrations.
