Mark your calendars for an evening of community spirit, local flavors, and live music as the North Bend Downtown Foundation (NBDF) brings back the highly anticipated event, “Sip, Suds, and Si.” The event is set to take place on Saturday, September 9th, from 6 to 9 p.m. in the historic district of downtown North Bend.
Embracing Local Culture
Coordinated by the NBDF, this event is designed to celebrate the best North Bend has to offer. From unique shops and quality restaurants to talented musicians, this celebration aims not just to entertain but also to enrich the community. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early to secure parking and explore the many charming boutiques and eateries that downtown North Bend has to offer.
How It Works
While all shops, restaurants, and services will be open for business during the event, those looking to indulge in wine and beer tastings will need to purchase an advance ticket and provide age verification. If you’re under 21, don’t fret; you can still join in on the walk and explore what the local vendors have to offer—minus the alcohol tastings, of course.
A Thriving Turnout Expected
According to the NBDF, the event is expected to draw over 450 attendees between 6 and 9 p.m. It’s worth noting that city streets will remain open throughout the event, so participants will be utilizing sidewalks and crosswalks to journey from one venue to another.
Giving Back
Proceeds from Sip, Suds, and Si will go towards various NBDF programs that focus on beautifying the downtown area and supporting local initiatives. Ticket purchases and additional information about the event can be found at North Bend Downtown Foundation’s official website.
