Our programming is centered around connecting you with your surroundings and furthering your relationship with our community. You will learn about the history of Bend and it’s growth over time, hear from city officials and local non-profits, and understand all of the ways you can get involved to give back to our community. Our seasonal program will emphasize arts and culture, including how our community has grown intentionally to allow space for community members to express their creativity.
There will be time to socialize and indulge in bites and beverages.
