Bend Brews & Beyond is Bend's biggest craft drinks festival, held at the scenic Drake Park along the Deschutes River in downtown Bend. The second annual edition takes place Saturday, May 23, 2026, from noon to 9 PM, featuring 50+ Oregon breweries and cideries plus over a dozen non-alcoholic beverage makers. Every locally-owned Central Oregon craft producer is invited, making it a comprehensive showcase of the region's brewing prowess.
Advance tickets are $35 for alcohol passes and $25 for non-alcohol passes, both including admission, a souvenir mug, and 5 drink tokens. Gate prices (if available) are $45 and $35 respectively. New for 2026 is a dedicated Hempgarden for hemp-derived CBD and Delta 9 infused beverages, plus the Bend Bands & Brewers Bash — bands collaborating with breweries to create beers "that taste like their music sounds." The popular "Meet the Makers" session runs from 3-5 PM, and the Brewers Decathlon competition returns.
The festival is 21+ only, benefits the Oregon Brewers Guild, and caps attendance at 5,000 for a comfortable experience.
Bend Brews & Beyond debuted in 2025 as the evolution of Bend's craft beer festival scene, organized by Grand Craft Bend — the venture founded in 2015 as Brian Yaeger Presents. Yaeger, an established beer writer and event producer, recognized that Bend's extraordinary concentration of craft breweries deserved a signature festival to match. With over a dozen breweries within city limits and dozens more across Central Oregon, the raw ingredients for a great festival were already in place.
Drake Park, with its riverside setting and downtown Bend location, provided the ideal backdrop. The inaugural 2025 festival quickly established itself as the region's premier drinks event, earning a capacity crowd of 5,000 attendees. For 2026, the festival is expanding its scope with new additions like the Hempgarden and Bands & Brewers Bash, while maintaining the core focus on Oregon-made craft beverages.
The festival's commitment to inclusivity — welcoming non-alcoholic beverage makers alongside traditional breweries — reflects the evolving craft drinks landscape, while the "Meet the Makers" session ensures attendees can connect directly with the people behind their favorite brews.
