The Bend Roots Revival is a festival that celebrates and showcases the diverse musical, artistic and cultural character of our community. With over 100 acts and educational workshops, over 3 days & nights, it has become the largest “local” festival in Central Oregon.  Last year over four thousand people attended the event. Staying true to the vision of its founders, Mark Ransom & Pat Pearsall – Bend Roots is a free festival for our community and artists to enjoy together.

The fest is hosted at The Century Center. During the daylight hours, performances in various genres from local and regional artists happen on several outdoor stages, educational presentations, face painting along with economically priced food and drinks. The combination of creative energy make the Bend Roots Revival a splendid outing for the whole family! For folks who enjoy a little night revelry, headlining indoor & outdoor musical acts will turn the heat up when the Bend Roots Revival really starts to rock!

Thank you Bend for another amazing Roots Revival!! Over 100 bands & 4000 people attended the fest last weekend. Thank you to the many many volunteers, bands, Century Center, Oregon Community Foundation, US Bank, Parrilla & The Vic, Deschutes Brewery, Good Life, Rise Up, & Mark Ransom. We were able to raise almost two-thousand dollars for the Rise Up-Roots educational project & $580 for PoetHouse Art through the guitar raffle at the door! //roots//rawk
