Event Season is Coming Up at NorthWest Crossing!

It looks like summer is finally here (knock on wood) and that means it is time to start getting geared up for the unofficial kickoff to summer in Bend, Oregon: The NorthWest Crossing Hullabaloo on Friday, June 24th! Not only that, the much-anticipated NWX Farmers Market starts the very next morning, with great fare and treasures from local vendors. 

Here are just a few of the activities for the family during the Hullabaloo:

• NWX Criterium, presented by BendBroadband and the Umpqua Bank Kids Crit. Even if you’re not a cyclist, this fast-paced race is a fun spectator sport, especially when it involves streamers, tricycles and a mad rush of little helmets and pedals.
• Music: Grammy-award winning singer/songwriter Mark Cohn and his full band will headline the Hullabaloo Mainstage, presented by The Garner Group for a truly magical musical evening, which will include such classics as “Walking In Memphis,” “Silver Thunderbird,” and the lovely “True Companion.” Cohn’s act will be preceded by the Oregon-based singer/songwriter/producer Franchot Tone, who has worked in the past with such names as Jack Johnson, Bend Harper and Michael Franti, just to name a few. Visitors will also enjoy the hip hop sounds of MOsley WOtta, a group that encourages unity through music and the celebration of human commonalities.
• Children’s activities in the Kids Zone, an art walk and food court featuring all types of delectable dining options make the Hullabaloo the perfect way to spend one of summer’s longest days. Feed your need for summer fun!

See you there!
