Old Settlers
Old Settlers is the annual town celebration of North Bend, dating back to 1889 when it was a gathering of the area's original settlers and their families. Since then, the Old Settlers Picnic has evolved into three days of festivities, rides, reunions and fun. Old Settlers is organized by the North Bend Area Chamber of Commerce.
In 2024, North Bend will be hosting the Centennial Old Settlers, a celebration that has been hosted annually since 1924. Look for big things to come as we mark a century of Old Settlers! If you have ideas for the Centennial Old Settlers, let us know! Look for a full schedule to be posted as the date draws closer.
Want to help? The Old Settlers Planning Committee is still seeking sponsors for the weekend. Any assitance or sponsorship is welcome. Let us know what works for you, or ask us for options. Become a major sponsor with a gift of $1,000 or more and be listed on all Old Settlers publicity. Or help out by working a shift in the beer garden, which provides most of the funding that makes Old Settlers possible.
