About Redmond

Set on a high-desert plateau in the heart of Central Oregon, Redmond has long been known as “The Hub.”  The nickname fits—this welcoming city is home to the Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM), the region’s main commercial airport, as well as the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center, which hosts major events like the Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo.

As the second-largest city in Central Oregon, Redmond has a character all its own. Its walkable downtown features local restaurants, breweries, and shops. Meanwhile, nearby trails, caves, waterfalls, and iconic spots like Smith Rock State Park make it a breeze to step straight into the great outdoors.
