Deschutes is back on board for the popular downtown Bend First Friday Art Walk! Join the fun pub crew for barbeque, art, live music and, of course, beer, just behind the pub in downtown Bend. Art Walk has become a focal point for cultural activities in the Bend community and a much anticipated festive beginning to every month of the year. Deschutes will be participating with a back-alley party May through October 2011.
