Central Oregon is a great place to celebrate all things spook-tastic! From lots of kid-friendly trick or treat activities to exploring the outdoors, to beer tastings…Bend really has something for everyone no matter how you like to celebrate Halloween. We have assembled a short-list of can’t miss events to help you plan your Halloween getaway to Central Oregon with Meredith Lodging! Here are our top 5 Halloween activities in Bend!
Besides providing a truly STUNNING backdrop for Pumpkin Patch photos, Smith Rock Ranch also offers Fall fun for the whole family! From an epic themed corn maize (this year’s theme is the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo Moon Landing), and adorable petting zoo, pumpkin cannon, pony rides and more! Gather your favorite people and spend an afternoon having fun at this local treasure of a location.
We love the idea of celebrating Halloween visiting the High Desert Museum and all of the education and fun they have to offer! This event will be held the Saturday before Halloween, October 26, from 6:00PM – 8:00PM. Visitors are DARED to enter the haunted Spirit of the West exhibit and costumes are highly encouraged. There will be family fun for all ages and food available from the Museum cafe. $10 admission fee (museum Members get 20% discount).
Get those costumes warmed up and trick-or-treat a little early in Bend! Kiddos up to 12 years old and their parents are welcome to participate and trick or treat among participating local shops in downtown Bend. Additional festivities include a scavenger hunt, costume contest and pumpkin golf!
Just down the hill from Mt. Bachelor Village by Meredith Lodging is the Old Mill District – one of our favorite places to Trick-or-Treat! This family-friendly event takes place from 4PM to 7PM and participating shops are ready to welcome you and your kiddos!
Back by popular demand is the Immersion Brewing Halloween Party! The festivities take place on October 26th from 9PM – 11:45 PM and include music, food and fun and a special appearance from DJ Wicked who has opened for Wu-Tang clan, Eminem, and Outkast. No cover charge…but do please bring your best dance moves!
