Celebrating the return of the sun, the renewal of the earth, and the launching of a busy Central Oregon outdoor event season, the free NorthWest Crossing Bend Spring Festival, presented by The Source Weekly, takes place in the downtown-like corridor of NorthWest Crossing Drive, in the award-winning Northwest Crossing Neighborhood on Bend’s Westside. Last year saw our highest attendance with thousands of people coming out to explore the original art, to chalk on the streets, to enjoy a robust offering of children’s activities, live music, great food, wine, beer, cocktails and ciders. This is the most intimate seasonal festival in Bend, and offers a rare opportunity to personally connect with artisans.
