Visit Redmond Oregon

Celebrate creativity and shop local at First Friday Art Walk in downtown Redmond! Stroll through galleries and pop-up art, meet local makers, and enjoy an evening that highlights the talent and small businesses that make our community shine. While you’re out, grab dinner, pick up a gift, and support the local shops that keep downtown thriving.

Punxsutawney Phil just called it: six more weeks of wintry weather, and our local rock chucks are backing him up.

Honestly, we’re rooting for more snow. A healthy snowpack helps recharge the water supply we count on for irrigation later in the season, and it can help lower wildfire risk when summer shows up. ❄️

Fun rock chuck fact: our “rock chuck” is the yellow-bellied marmot, and they can hibernate for around eight months, basically taking the long winter nap seriously.

Santa’s elves just collected a special batch of letters, and they’re headed to the North Pole!

📬 There’s still time to get yours in. Drop your letter in Santa's Mailbox for express mail to the North Pole, located at the arch in downtown Redmond.
