Join Bend Endurance Academy and the Bend Community April 25-27th, 2025 at The Pavilion for the first ever Bend Bike Fest, produced by Bend Endurance Academy. The BBF is the new event home of the legendary Bend Bike Swap from years past.

Consign your new/used gear and bikes, browse a selection of local businesses and non profit vendors, enjoy live music, food, and drinks. Stay for the games and awesome raffle prizes, all throughout the weekend!

The overarching goal of the Bike Fest is to foster a strong sense of community by connecting individuals with Bend’s outdoor lifestyle while advancing the mission of Bend Endurance Academy. Funds raised during this event will directly support the non-profit mission of increasing accessibility to youth sports and recreation in Central Oregon. Admission is FREE for this event, but a donation at the door gets you a raffle ticket!
