The Bend Chamber is excited to share that we will mark a major milestone—our 100-year anniversary—on May 26, 2026!
To celebrate this historic milestone, the Bend Chamber will launch a year-long Centennial campaign, highlighted by a Centennial Celebration Gala on May 21, 2026, from 6PM-8PM at the High Desert Museum. Attendees can look forward to catered food, beverages, live music, and a festive atmosphere as the community gathers to honor Bend’s business history and future.
In addition to the Centennial Gala, the Chamber will celebrate throughout the year by sharing stories from the past, partnering with longtime Chamber member Deschutes Brewery to create a commemorative collaboration beer, offering special membership promotions, and more.
Supporting the anniversary announcement is a new website and specialized brandmark featuring a “100 Years” banner. The new site, designed and developed by Chamber member fare*well, showcases a contemporary layout, expanded brand color palette, and easier navigation, and is an outward expression of the continuous improvement mindset embraced by the Chamber.
Stay tuned for more information on our 100-year celebration activities and check out our new website!
