Elevation Bend rebrand launches alongside new weekly farmers market

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- A new weekly farmers market opened today at Elevation Bend, formerly known as Bend Factory Stores. The market, which wraps around the entire side of the outlets, will operate every week until October.

The farmers market is part of the rebranding of Bend Factory Stores to Elevation Bend. Organizers intend for the market to be an easily accessible gathering place for the community.

Events Director Ashtyn Ryan for Northwest Assets, noted the convenient parking available at the new location. "A lot of people feel discouraged going to the markets because they don't find the parking. Here we have lots of parking. It's just super laid back, super chill. It's all just about coming together as a community and supporting your local vendors," Ryan said.

The market features a wide variety of local vendors, selling items such as crafts, fresh produce and home goods. New vendors will rotate through the market each week.

Beyond shopping, the market also includes a kid zone with bounce houses. Adults can enjoy live music and spirits.

The weekly market is scheduled to continue through October, offering a consistent community event in Bend.
