A Word From First Interstate Bank,

The Bend Summer Festival Title Sponsor:

As your trusted community bank, partner, and neighbor, we know the past year has placed stress and strain on you. You endured a global pandemic, lost loved ones, juggled work-from-home, school, and childcare responsibilities, experienced challenges to keep your businesses open, and felt emotionally disconnected from loved ones. As the tide turns, cause for celebration has likely never been stronger. With a renewed sense of appreciation and gratitude for one another, we continue to look for ways to safely connect, celebrate, and recreate—which is why First Interstate is proud and honored to kick off the 29th annual First Interstate Bend Summer Festival.

With great food, music, art, vendors and family fun, this amazing event celebrates where we live and the communities we serve. Although First Interstate has seen many changes during our growth and evolution the past fi ve decades, dedication to clients and giving back to the places we call home remains our top priority. Indeed, there’s a lot to celebrate this summer, and we are excited share the weekend with you. Thank you for coming!
