I was really looking forward to seeing the WinterFest 2025 fire pits at Bend’s winter festival event in Bend’s Old Mill District last February. They are great to photograph! I have posted pictures from previous years under the fire pit tag.
We are about to experience some of our hottest temperatures of the year in Bend this week. Maybe you are also getting some hot days where you live. I thought it might be a great time to remember the cooler temperatures of winter.
One of my favorite fire pits this year, was this VW van. It was well-designed and fun.
Another one I really liked was this one featuring a forest. Loved those trees!
Some of the fire pits have more intricate designs.
Others are more simple.
Some, like this one, are enormous. You can see lots of people meeting up around this WinterFest 2025 fire pit to take advantage of its warmth.
Some of the fire pits used a more traditional design, but included interesting cut-out details.
Others were all about the details. This octopus surrounding a boat, which I’ve shown before, had amazing details.
Some are cone or column shaped.
Other are square.
This year, snow from a recent storm covered the ground. It added to the festive mood.
Other attractions at Bend WinterFest 2025
This event includes ice carvings, hand-crafted fire pits, the Pump Bump Jam (a ski ramp with several jumps), a wine walk, food carts, beer, wine, and cider booths, bands playing on the stage, a flying dog show, and a kid’s area.
