Celebrating 25 years of hot summer days and the thriving Central Oregon outdoor event season, the free Bank of the Cascades Bend Summer Festival, presented by The Source Weekly and Hayden Homes, takes place in downtown Bend. For quarter of a century, thousands of people have explored the original art and enjoyed a robust offering of children’s activities, live music, great food, wine, beer, cocktails and ciders. This year will be no different with artists from all over, amazing musicians such as Nu Shooz, Larry and His Flask, and Saturday night The Peak 104.1 Main Stage headliner, Sir Mix-a-lot, and delicious gourmet food and wine.
