Get to munch and music!
We always encouraging our attendees to walk, bike, use Ride Bend, or carpool to Munch and Music.
We are incredibly lucky to have Drake Park as our Munch and Music venue. It is a beautiful location central to Bend, allowing our attendees to avoid driving to the event. Not only does this mean saving the planet, but it means staying active and improving health, gorgeous riverside views on your commute, less worry when enjoying an alcoholic beverage, and keeping Bend beautiful and clean! Here are some ways to reduce your impact on the city and make the most of your evening at Munch and Music!
BIKE
Biking to Munch and Music can be your exercise and commuting option in one. Bike Racks are available along the perimeter of the event space.
The Bird bike-share program is also available to anyone who would like to bike to the events.
walk or CARPOOL
Carpooling is an easy way to save time and money. Besides, riding with a friend is more fun! You can start your own carpool or join an existing one. It’s simple and doesn’t cost you anything to get started. Find your match at www.getthereoregon.org.
If you simply MUST drive to the event….
The Centennial Garage downtown is a great option where you pay $1 an hour for parking and enjoy the short walk to the park.
We want to be respectful of the residents living in the Old Bend Neighborhood. If you choose to park in the neighborhood adjacent to Drake Park, you need to park in the timed areas and not on the streets specifically signed as permit-only. The City of Bend will have the event parking rates ready by the second show of the season. With that said, July 4th is a holiday, and a free parking day per Bend City Code. As a result, there will not be any parking enforcement for the first concert.
We hope that this map is a helpful tool for parking.
