Bend Fall Festival

October 3 and 4

This page will be updated to reflect the 2009 schedule by the end of July 2009.

Event Description

Summer may be fading, but the skies are still sunny enough for short sleeves, the air is crisp, fresh, and tinged with the scent of cool nights, and the leaves are just beginning to turn. And the Bank of the Cascades Bend Fall Festival — a homey harvest celebration with good-natured competition, kid-happy fun and arts of all kinds — is the perfect way to ease the spirit into the delights of the new season. Producer Cameron Clark of C3 Events enjoys watching what the event brings to the community. “It truly feels like the locals come out to say good-bye to summer,” he said.

Come join us and enjoy the celebration! Hundreds of artisans will be on hand offering their works for sale. Several musical artists and entertainers will grace the Main Stage and International Stage with their talents; and of course, attendees can enjoy the cuisine of several local restaurants.

Head to downtown Bend the first weekend of October for the Bank of the Cascades Bend Fall Festival and put your summer-end blues to rest!
