And new for 2027, we’re teaming up with Bend Park & Recreation District to bring even more action to the ice at The Pavilion.

NEW FOR 2027: WINTERFEST ON ICE

What better way to celebrate winter in Bend than by getting out on the ice?

Our new location puts WinterFest right next to The Pavilion, where we’re partnering with Bend Park & Recreation District to make ice skating part of this year’s celebration.
