Downtown Bend will once again come alive with creativity, music, and community spirit as the First Interstate Bank Bend Fall Festival returns October 3-5, 2025. This beloved annual event invites locals and visitors alike to experience the vibrant culture of Central Oregon through immersive live performances and family-friendly activities.

Art in Action: Creativity for All Ages

At the heart of the festival lies the “Art in Action” area, where attendees can engage directly with artists and participate in hands-on activities. From steamroller printmaking to clay sculpting and pumpkin painting, this interactive space offers creative fun for all ages. The Fine Artist Promenade will showcase works from regional and national artists, providing a unique opportunity to appreciate and purchase original art pieces.

Live Music Lineup: Just Announced!

Get ready to dance in the streets—this year’s Bend Fall Festival music lineup has officially dropped! We’re thrilled to welcome two incredible headliners to the stage:

Stephanie Anne Johnson, a powerhouse vocalist known from The Voice and beloved for their soulful, genre-blending sound, will bring high energy and heart to the Friday night stage. And on Saturday night, don’t miss No Duh?, the ultimate No Doubt tribute band bringing all the Gwen Stefani-era hits and high-octane fun.

In addition to these headliners, the weekend will feature a wide variety of live music — from bluegrass and folk to funk and local school talent — with performances by bands like Leadbetter Band, Appaloosa, Skillethead, The Bunkhouse Two, Bekkah McAlvage, Alicia Viani Trio, and more. The Cascade School of Music will also showcase up-and-coming local talent throughout the weekend.

Supporting Local Causes

The Bend Fall Festival is proud to support local nonprofits, with proceeds benefiting organizations dedicated to animal welfare and community upliftment. In previous years, beneficiaries have included Street Dog Hero, Uplift Central Oregon, and the Humane Society of Central Oregon. This commitment to giving back underscores the festival’s dedication to enriching the local community.

Family-Friendly Fun and More

Beyond art and music, the festival offers a plethora of activities for the whole family. The Family Play Zone provides entertainment for children, while the Harvest Market features seasonal produce and artisanal goods. Food vendors will serve up a variety of culinary delights, ensuring that there’s something to satisfy every palate.
