Bend sits on the Deschutes River at the edge of the high desert, with Mount Bachelor for skiing and the Cascade Lakes for summer. The High Desert Museum, with its otters and raptors, and Tumalo Falls are the standard family outings; the Old Mill District's smokestacks are the town's skyline. Deschutes Public Library serves Bend and the towns along the river.
Holiday events for kids in Bend, 2026: tree lightings, light displays, Santa visits and gingerbread workshops, day by day.
55 children’s events are on in Bend in the next seven days, read every night from the calendars of Deschutes Public Library (21 branches, 567 upcoming programmes). Library programmes are free. Museum and zoo events say “admission may apply”; check the venue for prices.
The same calendars serve La Pine, Redmond, Sisters and Sunriver, so searching any of those names finds the same events.
59 places to collect. Tap “I'm here” when you're at one and the stamp goes in your book; collect 5 and print the certificate.
Stamps live on your phone. Open your passport to see them all, print the certificate, or save them to your email.
Yes and no. Every event, time, address and link is open to anyone. An account only lets you save outings you plan to go to.
Each library and venue calendar is re-read every night, so a cancelled storytime disappears within a day. Times are shown in Bend’s own time zone.
Babies and toddlers, preschoolers, early grades, tweens and teens. Pick an age range above to narrow the list; leave them all off to see everything.
