Bend Central District Block Party

We’re bringing the BCD to life with a one day festival celebrating creativity and community. Saturday transforms the district into an open-street festival with hands-on art, circus performances, games, artist booths, a kids zone, and evening theater and comedy shows.

The circus is coming to town – and you are invited!

The High Desert Fire Artists will transform the Bend Central District into a world of wonder with their bold, vibrant performance style. Guests will be captivated throughout the day by high‑flying aerialists, strolling stilt walkers, classic sideshow acts, and thrilling fire performances that ignite the imagination and leave audiences in awe.

Fashion for Everyone

Hands-on, creative, and community-driven—Fashion for Everyone brings a mobile fashion classroom to the Bend Central District. Step inside their traveling workshop to catch live demos, explore upcycled materials, and learn more about sustainable fashion practices. They’ll also have fabric and supplies available for purchase, making it easy to bring a little creativity home with you.

Open Space: Art, Performance & Place

Make your way to Open Space, where creativity spills beyond the gallery walls. This Bend Central District venue will showcase local artists throughout the day, alongside a lineup of live theater and improv performances inside their open garage space. Just outside, the wine garden offers a place to sip, relax, and take it all in—art, performance, and community, all in one stop.

Late Night in the District

As the sun goes down, the Bend Central District keeps the energy going with evening DJs spinning into the night. Expect a shift from daytime exploring to a more lively, music-forward atmosphere—perfect for grabbing a drink and staying awhile.
