Bend’s Community Center’s third annual traveling feast unveils menu, tickets going quickly.
Tickets are nearly gone for Bend’s Community Center (BCC) third Annual Foodie Crawl to be held this Sunday, April 27 from 3–6pm followed by an After Party with dessert, live music from Bill Keale and Downhill Ryder and a silent auction at Liberty Theater, located at 849 N. Wall Street, from 5-8pm. This year the Foodie Crawl includes an enticing lineup of Bend’s top restaurants offering a mouth-watering menu.
This is a mobile feast, unlike any other event in Central Oregon, according to Bend’s Community Center Executive Director Linda Heatley. The Foodie Crawl will be followed by an After Party at Liberty Theatre with live music, desserts, beer and wine and a silent auction. Participants sample small plates and beverage pairings from 13 chefs and restaurants throughout Central Oregon.
Proceeds from the event will benefit BCC’s Feed the Hungry program, which provides more than 2,000 meals each week to those in need throughout the Central Oregon community. Tickets are $65 per person or $20 for just dessert and live music at the After Party at Liberty Theater.
