4 Peaks Music Festival

The 4 Peaks Music Festival, a staple in Central Oregon’s vibrant music scene, is undergoing a transformative change in 2025 as it relocates from its traditional pasture grounds to multiple nights at the Tower Theater in downtown Bend, Oregon. This shift does not diminish the festival’s intimate vibe and family-friendly atmosphere that have made it a beloved event for years.

The festival is designed for a diverse audience, including families, music enthusiasts, and anyone looking to immerse themselves in a rich musical experience. At its core, 4 Peaks attracts a loyal following of festivarians who travel from across the Western United States, Canada, and even as far as New York. The event is particularly appealing to those who appreciate a blend of jamtronica, funk, deep-groove soul, and psychedelic rock.

In 2025, the festival will unfold over several nights at the Tower Theater, a historic and iconic venue in downtown Bend. The exact schedule includes multiple nights of live music, with events such as the 4 Peaks Kick Off Party and 4 Peaks Live @ The Tower Night 1, 2, and 3. These nights promise to be filled with special performances, including acts like Dizgo, known for their intricate compositions and extended improvisations, and TEB, a musical collective that blends funky fusion-rock jams with soulful singer-songwriter elements.

Located in the heart of Bend, Oregon, the Tower Theater offers a unique urban setting that contrasts with the festival’s previous pastoral backdrop. Bend, nestled in the high desert of Central Oregon, is accessible via the Redmond Municipal Airport or by car via US-97 and US-20 highways. The city’s downtown area is walkable, with ample parking and local transportation options available.

Despite the change in venue, the essence of 4 Peaks remains intact. The festival retains its commitment to providing an immersive musical experience. Attendees can look forward to nights filled with live music from a variety of bands, each bringing their unique energy and sound. The festival’s focus on community and family ensures that there are activities for all ages, from the youngest children to seasoned music lovers.

What makes 4 Peaks unique is its ability to create a seamless blend of music, community, and celebration. Even in its new urban setting, the festival maintains an intimate and immersive atmosphere, thanks to its dedicated staff and volunteer army. The Tower Theater, with its rich history and excellent acoustics, becomes the perfect backdrop for this musical journey.

For those who crave more than just music, the festival offers a tapestry of experiences. Local food and craft vendors will be on hand, ensuring that attendees can indulge in the best of Bend’s culinary and artisanal offerings. The setting, though different, still promises miles of smiles and a sense of togetherness that has defined 4 Peaks since its inception.
