A fun mix of locally owned and national brand shops, restaurants, cafes and a beautiful walkway along the Deschutes River. All just a short walk from our Old Mill Studio.

Live music, theater, comedy, film

The Tower Theatre is the icon of downtown Bend. Always wonderful music, theater, comedy and other live performances year-round. It’s a beautifully restored art deco design; you need to see the inside! Non profit theater, Bend’s living room, tickets online or at the box office.

Music

Looking for big name concerts in a beautiful setting? It's a short walk from our Old Mill Studio to the Les Schwab Amphitheater for wonderful music! No worries about parking, enjoy the food and drinks down in the Old Mill District before the concert.

Sightseeing

There are many places throughout Bend to access the Deschutes River Trail. From our Old Mill Studio, you can just walk down the block to take the steps down to the Old Mill District or one of the river parks. Head upriver to walk or run the more secluded forested trail or head downriver along the Old Mill District and to Downtown and Drake Park.

Not a typical museum! Live animals, huge outdoor area, world class art and architecture, all nestled in the forest of the high desert, south end of Bend.

여행 팁

교통편

Bend's Roundabouts

Bend has a lot of roundabouts and they are a great way to keep traffic moving if you do it right. Drive through roundabouts slowly so others can get in, always signal to exit the roundabout, drivers going around the roundabout have the right of way. Be nice, you're in Bend!
관습과 문화

Be nice. You're in Bend.

In Bend and Central Oregon to relax and get away? Live like a local while you are here. Don't honk at people; eventually traffic will move. Don't speed, we like to bike and walk around town. Let people in while you are driving. The parkway is not a freeway, the speed limit is 45 mph. It is just a way through town without a lot of stoplights. Turn your cell phone off if you are on hiking trails. It can wait. Choose local restaurants and coffee shops and skip the big chains. Support those living here and tip well. Thank you and enjoy Bend!
