Campfire Hotel is teaming up with School of Rock Bend to bring live music to its retro, camp-inspired property this summer with a series of laid-back, open-air performances featuring the organization’s talented student musicians. The partnership creates a unique platform for young artists to showcase their skills, while enhancing the hotel’s vibrant, artistic, and community-driven atmosphere.
On select dates, guests and locals alike are invited to enjoy free School of Rock House Band Unplugged sets—intimate, stripped-down performances that provide family-friendly entertainment in a relaxed setting around Campfire Hotel’s fire pit and poolside areas. While the shows are open to the public at no cost, donations are encouraged and will directly support the students as they work toward a major milestone: School of Rock Bend’s House Band has been selected to perform at Summerfest 2026 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, one of the largest and most renowned music festivals in the world.
This collaboration is all about creating space for connection between music, community, and shared experiences,” says Keagan Parks, General Manager of Campfire Hotel. “Programs like this feel more important than ever amid ongoing cuts to school music programs, and we’re proud to support these incredibly talented students on their journey to Summerfest while also giving our guests live music to enjoy on property.”
Beyond the performances at Campfire Hotel, the surrounding Bend Central District continues to emerge as a hub for vibrant events and summer entertainment. Just steps from the hotel, the inaugural Bend Block Party will bring together local talent, artists, and makers for a full day of creativity and community celebration this June. Nearby, Dogwood at the Pine Shed offers a lively neighborhood gathering space with a rotating mix of live music, DJs, and karaoke each weekend, complete with elevated cocktails and globally inspired food trucks.
Seasonal programming at the hotel adds even more to the experience, with Swim Club Sundays returning as the perfect setting for laid-back weekend fun. And for the third year, the Hot Pipes Pool Party makes a splash this August as the Hot Pipes Motorcycle show rolls into town, bringing a full day of custom builds and vintage rides, plus a special rider rate discount when booking a stay. Guests can also take advantage of the hotel’s 3rd-night free package, allowing for even more time to experience the season’s vibrant festivities and live music lineup.
Whether catching a local set or a major performance, Campfire Hotel’s central location offers seamless access to the area’s most exciting events.
