Join the City of Bend and Mayor Melanie Kebler for CityFest, a celebration of community, creativity, and Bend’s future in the heart of the Downtown Bend Business Association First Friday Art Walk. ​
Mayor Kebler will share a brief “State of the City” message, highlighting City Council goals and priorities and sharing how they support Bend’s economic growth, downtown vitality and long term future. Community members are encouraged to connect with City staff, ask questions, and learn more about current projects shaping Bend. ​
As you explore the art walk, stop in at Scalehouse Gallery and the Tin Pan Theater to experience creative spaces and join a hands-on community art activity for kids and families in partnership with Visit Bend (that will, upon completion, be featured in the Tin Pan Alley Art Collection!). ​
Plus, enter a free raffle for a chance to win a Downtown Bend Business Association gift card – good at all downtown businesses.
