New in 2026: Harvest Bake-Off
Think your homemade pie, fresh-baked bread, or signature chili has what it takes to impress? Join us for the inaugural Bend Fall Festival Harvest Bake-Off, a celebration of home baking, family recipes, and fall flavors.
Contest categories include:
- 🥧 Pie (20 entries)
- 🍞 Bread (20 entries)
- 🌶️ Chili (15 entries)
Entries will be judged on taste, appearance, texture, and overall presentation by a panel of local judges. Participants are also encouraged to create a festive display for their entry to compete for our Best Display Award.
Art IN ACTION
Step into creativity at Art in Action Avenue, where kids (and kids at heart!) can get hands-on with art and music all weekend long. This lively section of the festival invites families to roll up their sleeves and dive into interactive experiences:
🎨 Creative Activities with Freckles Creative Club – From slime-making to designing your own custom pen at the Pen Bar, get ready for fun, imaginative projects kids will love. There will also be take-home art kits for budding artists who want to keep the creativity going.
🎃 Pumpkin Painting – Back by popular demand, kids can decorate their very own pumpkin just in time for fall.
🎶 Interactive Music – The School of Rock joins us with an engaging, musical experience where festival-goers can play, sing, and connect with the joy of live music.
✨ Pop-Up Performances – Keep your eyes open for surprise acts throughout the festival!
