Featured Events This Week

🎹 IN A LANDSCAPE: Piano on the Shores of East Lake

📍 East Lake, Newberry National Volcanic Monument
📅 Friday, August 21 | 🕠 5:30–7:00 PM
💲 Tickets required — check current availability/pricing online

There are outdoor concerts, and then there’s a grand piano sitting on the edge of a volcanic crater lake. IN A LANDSCAPE returns to East Lake for one of those experiences that feels tailor-made for Central Oregon — pianist Hunter Noack performing along the shoreline with Newberry National Volcanic Monument as the backdrop.

Bring a beach chair and settle in along the water, or make it even more memorable and listen from a kayak or canoe offshore. The performance runs from 5:30 to 7 p.m., giving you a late-summer evening of classical music, mountain air and one pretty spectacular setting.

🎬 Happy Gilmore Under the Stars in Sisters

📍 Aspen Lakes Golf Course, Sisters
📅 Friday, August 21 | 🕖 Doors 7:00 PM • Movie around 8:00 PM
💲 FREE

Grab a blanket or low-back chair and head to the driving range at Aspen Lakes, where Happy Gilmore will hit the big screen for a free outdoor movie night. Citizens4Community is kicking off its summer Let’s Watch! series with what may be the most appropriately located screening possible — a golf comedy shown right on the golf course.

Come early because the fun starts before the movie. Aspen Lakes golf pros will host putting and “Happy Gilmore-style” longest-drive contests, with snacks and concessions available from the drink cart. The movie begins around sundown on a 16-foot inflatable screen. Admission is free; the film is rated PG-13, and organizers ask guests to leave dogs and alcohol at home.
