The NBDF is a volunteer driven organization centered around creating a vibrant and thriving downtown community.

We play a significant role in shaping the image of our downtown, as a community hub and attractive place for residents, visitors, investors, businesses and property owners.

The North Bend Downtown Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization serving the North Bend community for over 10 years.

We bring people together by providing opportunities. We’re the eyes and ears of community actively working on creating an exciting, appealing and productive place to live, work and play.

Our annual events attract over 20,000 residents and visitors. We strive to connect community with opportunities, promote small businesses, celebrate visual and performing arts, facilitate beautification projects and host seasonal events. 90% of our events are free to the public.

We invite you to join us to build, support and strengthen our community.
