GO HERE: Downtown Bend
In downtown Bend, the former timber town’s historic streets are alive with culinary
experiences woven throughout a cutting-edge micro-distillery and craft brewery
scene. Find out how local juniper berries are reinterpreted as gin and why virgin snowmelt makes some of the finest vodka on the planet. Head for great eats at food carts and
cafés or go the other direction, to white-linen restaurants, where chefs celebrate the season and
the region with every dish.
Catch up-and-coming artists from the Pacific Northwest’s storied music scene at the coffee
houses, bars and music halls, or national acts under the stars at the Les Schwab Amphitheater.

Stroll from one art gallery to the next or catch an indie film at an intimate, oldfashioned theater.
Wind down at an eco-chic downtown hotel, a bed and breakfast, or a rustic inn
and dream of tomorrow’s outing. Golf, fishing, climbing, hiking, rafting, even skiing and
snowboarding are just a few other adventurous pursuits for rounding out a weekend or a week. If
yesterday was a bit of an overload, take it easy by strolling Bend’s boutiques and recharging with
a body treatment at one of many spas. At the end of the day, your body and mind will agree that
you’ve come to the right place for fun at any speed.
