2026 Hixon Mortgage Bend Summer Festival

Date May 29, 2026 – May 31, 2026

Bend Summer Festival is kicking off the season with a fresh new schedule and a new title sponsor. The 2026 Hixon Mortgage Bend Summer Festival returns to downtown Bend Friday–Sunday, May 29–31, 2026, marking the event’s first-ever move to late May and offering ideal early-summer weather for a full weekend of celebration. Hixon Mortgage is a locally owned mortgage company focused on helping families achieve the great American dream of homeownership. We love and are proud to support events like Summerfest in an effort to bring the community together to celebrate local vendors and businesses.

The annual community favorite will once again take over multiple blocks in downtown Bend with art, music, food, shopping, and family-friendly fun—now perfectly timed to launch the summer festival season.

The festival weekend kicks off Friday, May 29, from 4–10 p.m. with music and food along Oregon Avenue. Saturday, May 30 (11 a.m.–10 p.m.) and Sunday, May 31 (11 a.m.–5 p.m.) feature full festival programming across downtown.
