Our resort is the ideal home base for everyone from families to couples looking to experience the annual summer holiday in Central Oregon.

What to Do on an Independence Day Vacation to Bend

Choosing to celebrate the 4th of July in Bend is a great way to add a bit of extra fun to this already memorable holiday. There are several events and activities to check out near our Bend resort.

1. One of the most popular and unique things to do is watch the pet parade. The parade travels north on Harmon and works its way to Drake Park. No registration is necessary, so you and your pup can join in the fun!
2. Experience a classic Bend summer experience and go floating down the Deschutes River. Your relaxing day on the water starts at either Riverbend Park or Farewell Bend Park and ends at Mirror Pond or Drake Park. You can rent tubes or paddleboards from Tumalo Creek, Sun Country Tours, or other local outfitters.
3. Head to the Village at Sunriver for all-day fun at its 4th of July Festival. Enjoy live entertainment, pony rides, food, contests, carnival-style games, and more at this annual event.
4. Take in Mother Nature’s beauty by hiking to an epic viewpoint. The Pilot Butte Summit Trail is a short but steep option that offers panoramic views of Bend. For more of a day trip option, head to Smith Rock State Park.
