Greetings,
After careful consideration, the Downtown Bend Business Association (DBBA) staff and board have decided to cancel Bend Oktoberfest, scheduled for Sept 2021.
This decision was an extremely difficult one to make.
Bend Oktoberfest is the largest fundraiser for Downtown Bend, and not being able to hold this event will result in a reduction in beautification programs for Downtown Bend, including flower baskets and holiday decorations in the 2021/2022 fiscal year.
However, the most important thing to consider is the health and safety of our community, our hospital staff, and our children who will soon be returning to their classrooms.
If you're passionate about the vitality of Downtown Bend and would like to donate to our non-profit, please click here.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to co-creating with you in the future to increase the vitality of our community.
Stay healthy and stay kind, we'll all get through this.
