Bend Brewfest
2024 Bend Brewfest mug and token packages are now available!
Central Oregon's largest craft beer festival is set to return to the Hayden Homes Amphitheater Oct. 4-5, 2024! Folks can once again indulge in two days of craft beer bliss along the banks of the Deschutes River in beautiful Bend, Oregon.
“The Bend Brewfest is back home,” said Beau Eastes, the Old Mill District’s Marketing Director. “We’re confident the festival will be better than ever while staying true to what local craft beer enthusiasts have come to expect and enjoy.”
In years past, the three-day event has attracted more than 40,000 fans and included more than 70 vendors serving up 200 beers, ciders, wines and other fermented beverages like hard seltzers. “The Bend Brewfest is a beloved tradition in our community and it’s been sorely missed,” said Eastes. “Like the rest of town, we’ve felt the void created by its absence and are thrilled to bring back Central Oregon’s largest and longest-running craft beer festival.” Organizers hope the Brewfest’s new October dates will make the festival easier for craft beer aficionados to attend with the event moved outside of Bend’s busier summer months.
