Bend falls for festival

Locals can head to Downtown Bend for a fun, seasonal event to kick start their weekend.

The Bank of the Cascades Bend Fall Festival will offer concerts on two stages. The main stage will feature performing artists such as Sarah Jackson Holman, Tyler Stenson, and Tom Smiley. There will also be a ‘Locals Only’ stage.

Another highlight of the festival is the Conscious Living Showcase, which will feature more than 50 exhibitors that support a healthy lifestyle. Exhibits will feature topics such as conservation, wellness, and recreation. Attendees can also check out the Harvest Market, where there will be local produce for sale like pumpkins, barbecue sauce, and jelly. Food, beer, and wine vendors will be on site too.

Families can visit the family harvest where there will be a petting zoo, bounce houses, and balloon artists. Kids can get henna or glitter tattoos, attend a mask-making lesson, or paint a pumpkin. Finally, there will be arts and crafts along with science activities.

More than 150 artists will have their work displayed and for sale in the fine arts promenade. It’s likely these artists will have some digital Business Cards on hand to exchange with other artists and customers.

The festival will take place this weekend, on Friday, October 2 from 5:00 pm until 11:00 pm, Saturday from 11:00 am until 11:00 pm, and Sunday from 11:00 am until 5:00 pm.
