So you’ve been to a Bend festival and a conference or two. Inspiration? Check. Brilliant ideas written down in a notebook? Check. Good food, good friends, good vibes? Check, check, check. While it's tempting to pull your secret Snuggie from the depths of the closet and hunker down for a long winter's nap, keep your inspiration alive and kicking with a few more off-the-beaten-track, sunrise to sunset #TenthMonthBend experiences—stuff you won't find in every "been there, done that" guide to Bend. || link in bio⠀ ⠀ 📷: @NateWyeth || Visit Bend — view on Instagram http://ift.tt/2xHckee

James Beard once said, "Food is our common ground, a universal experience." No matter where you've been or where you're going, good food shared around a table with people you ❤️ is the stuff of life. From a bustling food cart scene to epicurean delights, our quirky mountain town has something for everyone. 🥘🍝🍱🍔🌮🍮😋 Stay. Play. Eat good food. And #fallinlovewithbend this October.⠀ #tenthmonthbend ⠀ 📷: @trowe78 || Visit Bend⠀ ..⠀ ..⠀ ..⠀ ..⠀ ..⠀ #foodielife #foodgawker #instayum #foodietravel #foodietravels #pnwfood #eatgoodfood #pnwisbest #visitbend #visitcentraloregon #bendoregon #inbend #traveloregon #oregonfoodie #oregonroadtrip #roadtrippin #getinspired — view on Instagram http://ift.tt/2zS2VBk

There's still time to fall in love with #Bend this October! Tin Pan Alley is the ideal location to explore local art, catch an indie flick or enjoy what’s rumored to be Bend’s best cup of coffee. Sip on an obsessively-crafted cappuccino from @LonePineCoffee as you wander the alley and explore art adorning the brick walls. Afterwards, head to @TinPanTheater for an unforgettably charming movie experience. ⠀ #fallinlovewithbend #tenthmonthbend #getinspired⠀ ⠀ 📷: @alonetimeallthatime — view on Instagram http://ift.tt/2ytSXJ7

’Tis the season for… Jubelale! We’ve waited oh so patiently and tomorrow’s the day when @DeschutesBeer releases its beloved seasonal winter ale. (Fun fact: Jubelale was Deschutes Brewery’s first bottled beer. 👏👏👏)Thirty years later and it’s still making our taste buds wish they had taste buds.⠀ ⠀ Local Bend mixed-media artist MaryLea Harris created the artwork for the 2017 Jubelale—a series of four unique snowflakes you’ll find mixed and matched in each six-pack. Catch her at the Jubelale launch party tomorrow night #inBend for a poster signing and convo about the complex process she went through (recycling old Jubelale posters and local newspaper articles about Deschutes Brewery, layering brush strokes and acrylic ink drips, and hand painting each snowflake) to create this year’s label.⠀ ⠀ October 16 || Deschutes Brewery Bend Public House || 5-8 p.m.⠀ ⠀ #tenthmonthbend @maryleaharrisart⠀ ⠀ 📷: Deschutes Brewery — view on Instagram http://ift.tt/2yoUXji

Thirteen years ago, iPods dominated the market, Skype wowed the world, a thing called “The Facebook” was all the rage on college campuses, and if you had a one-megapixel phone camera, you were doing alright. In a tiny corner of the world, the Bend Venture Conference (BVC) also made its debut #inBend #Oregon. ⠀ Check out our newest post—link in bio—for a few BVC "whoa" moments over the last 13 years.⠀ ⠀ 2017 is Bend Venture Conference’s 14th year, with 14 companies competing for funding. (Is “14” the new lucky number? Let’s see, shall we?) It all happens October 19-20th during #TenthMonthBend.⠀ — view on Instagram http://ift.tt/2xE8Bx2
