Barrels Of Beer & Bonfires On The Snow w/Crux Fermentation Project

  • SAT – Meet at Crux Fermentation where you will head to the exclusive brewers’ table located away from the crowds in the original brewery. Here you will be treated to vertical tastings of limited vintages no longer available on tap. Experience how additional years of maturation lend even more complexity and depth to some of Crux’s most coveted beers. Elite staff, handpicked for their knowledge, answer your brewing questions as you dine on artisanal pizza, Bavarian pretzels, and charcuterie. After dinner, depart Bend for the mighty Cascade Range where deep snow awaits our exploration on snowshoes under the starry skies! Strap on the snowshoes for a step back in transportation time. Tucked deep in the forest, our naturalist guide will share the sport of shoeing while heading to our destination- a spectacular, hand-carved amphitheater in the snow.

Caldera 2020 Open Studios @ Downtown Bend Library

  • SAT – This weekend’s open studio features Caldera January Artists in Residence, Unit Souzou, a performing ensemble rooted in traditions of Taiko, Japanese folk dance, and theatre. Unit Souzou will share a work-in-progress showing of their new project “Constant State of Otherness”, which builds empathy and identity by exploring experiences of home, belonging, and kinship.

K-9 Keg Pull @ The Village At Sunriver

  • SAT – The Sunriver Brewing Co. K9 Keg Pull is the premier winter event in Sunriver. A 120-foot snow runway sets the stage for this doggie Olympics. Dog owners register their pups in a variety of weight divisions, which will dictate what size “keg” their pooch will pull. Each participant will be timed and prizes awarded for each weight category. This year’s K-9 Keg Pull will take place in the Village at Sunriver courtyard, next to the Pavilion.

Ranch & Table Pairing Series @ Brasada Ranch

The Humane Society of Central Oregon’s 9th Annual Pup Crawl

  • SAT-Feb. 29 – Join us at any or all eleven local pubs to help the animals. These generous breweries are pouring tasty beer and 100% of the money raised each nigh benefits the animals thanks to our sponsors: Bend Studio and Michael Hopp – Homes by Hopp. Have a howling good time and help raise money for homeless animals.

Exhibition Opening: Infinite Moment: Burning Man on the Horizon @ The High Desert Museum

  • SAT-Oct. 4 – Most of the year, the 1,000 square miles of the Black Rock Desert in northwest Nevada sit isolated, occupied by wildlife that has adapted to thrive in the harsh environment. Two nearby towns, Empire and Gerlach, are home to a population of less than 800 residents. Then in early August, a temporary city of 80,000 begins to emerge as people arrive to erect colossal works of art. For nine days at summer’s end, a community gathers dedicated to self-expression and transformation. It is Black Rock City, and this February, the High Desert Museum will give visitors a glimpse into the phenomenon called Burning Man.
