This event is FREE and will feature lots of fun things to see and do including 40 booths, gourmet food and wine, jazz, locally brewed beer, over 100 artists and craftsmen from Bend and the surrounding area, dances from the Warm Springs Tribal Dancers, Portland Ballet and so much more.
Bend Summer Festival Hours
The fun starts on Friday 7/10 at 5:00 pm sharp and events will resume on Saturday and Sunday at 11:00 am.
