Bend also boasts an array of breweries and restaurants, as well as the Les Schwab Amphitheatre, an outdoor, riverfront venue that hosts a mix of year round concerts and events. The area has become home to a diverse and ever-expanding business community, anchored by a mix of biomedical companies, regional hospitals, national-scale microbreweries, resorts, and Silicon Valley tech transplants.
