About Día de Muertos Bend
Día de Muertos Bend is Central Oregon's community Día de Muertos celebration, organized by local volunteers to honor loved ones who have passed with a community ofrenda, papel picado, music, dance, food, and vendors. The 2025 celebration, themed Dignidad en la Vida y la Muerte, filled a street in downtown Bend on November 7; in 2026 it moves to the Open Arts Center.
Volunteering looks like
Volunteers make the celebration happen: setting up and decorating, helping build the community ofrenda, supporting vendors and performers, and keeping the event welcoming and safe for everyone. Sign up through the volunteer form. In the weeks before the event, the Open Arts Center has hosted free family craft nights where anyone can help make decorations for the community altar.
