The Bend-Redmond area is pleased to host the Feast of Tabernacles again in 2014. Nestled in the pines of Central Oregon, Bend is the hub of the Cascade Mountains vacation area—a truly millennial setting. Warm, sunny days and crisp, cool nights are typical autumn weather during the Fall Festival season.

Central Oregon offers a wide range of family-oriented activities. The nationally acclaimed High Desert Museum features impressive indoor natural history exhibits and live outdoor animal programs. Sightseeing opportunities include waterfalls, mountain streams, national forests and state parks. Newberry National Volcanic Monument offers views of interesting features of the area’s volcanic past, including a large lava cave to explore on foot. Crater Lake is within driving distance from the Bend-Redmond area.

Outdoor activities include sightseeing, hiking and biking trails, horseback riding, hay rides, rock climbing, caves to explore, agate and fossil hunting, fishing, canoeing, boating and whitewater rafting. Golfers will enjoy some of the nation’s best courses with reasonable green fees.

Bend has several shopping centers, including a factory outlet mall and the award-winning Old Mill District, which is located on the scenic banks of the Deschutes River. It features shops, restaurants and a scenic walking trail along the banks of the river. The small tourist town of Sisters is a must for window-shopping and souvenirs. The resort village of Sunriver offers shopping, dining, a nature center, an indoor sports center and a brand new water park.

Central Oregon offers a wide variety of restaurants. Some offer special menu items and discounts for Feastgoers.
