Held June 20 & 21 in downtown Bend, the Bite of Bend celebrates our local culture and is an event that accurately reflects the food of our region. New this year will be the Oregon Marketplace, showcasing food and farm grown produce from around Oregon. The majority of the entertainment is also local. This event is free to the public and includes a wide array of activities such as a children’s area, performance stage, beer garden, fine food and wine as well as a live Iron Chef competition; not to mention local food booths offering “bites” of their locally created provisions for a small price.
