🚲💨 Racing into the week…
Sure, a surrey through the Old Mill District won’t win you any speed records—but with river views, sunshine, and plenty of laughs along the way, you won’t be in a hurry to get anywhere else.

No two Fourth of July celebrations in Bend look the same. Maybe yours starts with wagging tails at the Pet Parade and ends with fireworks lighting up the night. Maybe it’s about catching live music, riverside hangs, or finding that perfect view of the Butte.

Lineup starts at 8:30 AM—bring your coffee, grab your spot, and take in this one-of-a-kind tradition as dogs, goats, and horses parade through town.

When the parade wraps, head to @thecommonsbend. Kick back in the courtyard, grab a drink, and enjoy live music from Skillethead.
