Destination Redmond

Longest day of the year, done right.

Start with coffee and sunrise views, then take your paddleboard out at Cascade Lakes before settling into a shaded patio at Wild Ride Brewing.

Catch golden hour out at Smith Rock or along the canyon, then stay out for a sky full of stars.

Save this for your summer solstice plans this weekend.

America is turning 250 years old. And it's never looked better in Redmond. Come celebrate the 4th of July here and be a part of something bigger - bigger skies, bigger celebrations, and a full weekend packed with memories.

In Redmond, that looks like a full weekend.

- Start July 3 with a community block party at Centennial Park, live music, pie contests, and local history woven throughout the evening.

- July 4 begins with a downtown parade that turns the streets into a tribute to the stars and stripes, then closes with fireworks lighting up the high desert sky.

In between, take your time here, slow mornings, open landscapes, and everything that makes Redmond feel like more than a stop along the way.

Counting down to a weekend built around live music. Reggae Rise Up Oregon Festival lands in Redmond June 12–14 with three days of live sets and open skies.

Afternoons at the fairgrounds, evenings that carry on, and a lineup worth planning for. A couple weeks out, now’s the time to lock it in.

You've got places to go and things to see.

Within minutes you can be on the trails at Smith Rock State Park or winding through Dry Canyon. Grab a bike from Trinity Bikes, explore on foot, or even head out on horseback. Redmond sits right in the middle of it all, which means some of Central Oregon’s best hikes are right outside town.

Worth lingering a little. 🥾
