On August 13, 2023 the Central Oregon community will gather at Drake Park for Balanced Bend Mental Health Festival. This free community festival is dedicated to healing, connection, and education. Participants will sample services from a variety of local wellness providers, teachers, and organizations that contribute to a balanced lifestyle.

In its first year, Balanced Bend hosted more than 30 organizations and 300 participants. Attendees and volunteers enjoyed live music, wellness classes, free massage, and a family fun zone all in the spirit of celebrating mental health. This year, we hope to grow and feature even more of our local resources.
