I’m now on the Downtown Bend email list and received today’s newsletter, which details a number of the upcoming September events for Bend—a good number of which are “fests.” Check it out:

• The Little Woody: Barrel-aged beer festival, September 3rd and 4th.
• Great Drake Park Duck Race: Not a “fest”; September 12th.
• Bend Fall Festival: Exactly what it sounds like, September 18th and 19th.
• Bend Oktoberfest: Another beer-related festival, but this one is closer in spirit to the Fall Festival. September 24th and 25th.
