A holiday market tradition in Central Oregon returns for its 17th year. The Locavore Holiday Gift Faire, hosted by Central Oregon Locavore Nonprofit, will take place Saturday, December 13, 2025, at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (61980 Skyline Ranch Rd.) from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a special VIP Shopping Hour from 9–10 a.m.
The Locavore Holiday Gift Faire has become a community tradition and one of Bend’s favorite ways to celebrate the season. With 80+ local vendors, the faire offers a joyful and meaningful alternative to big-box shopping—bringing together artisans, farmers, and makers from across Central Oregon in one festive, family-friendly event.
Handcrafted, Local, and One-of-a-Kind
This one-day-only faire features an abundance of locally made gifts: handcrafted jewelry, original art, textiles, small-batch foods, herbal soaps, woodworks, ceramics, and whimsical holiday treats.
“This is more than a holiday market,” said Nicole Timm-Branch, Executive Director of Central Oregon Locavore. “It’s a way to celebrate creativity, support small businesses, and strengthen Central Oregon’s local economy. Every vendor and sponsor helps sustain a holiday tradition that makes Bend unique. Plus all proceeds benefit Central Oregon Non Profit, ensuring the future of local food for our community..”
