Downtown Great Bend
Great Bend, KS
On May 30, 2026, from 10 AM to 6 PM, downtown Great Bend, Kansas will come alive once again for Big Bend Bash — a full day of energy, entertainment, and community pride, all supporting downtown streetscape improvements.

Spend the day exploring a vibrant vendor fair, enjoying mouthwatering food trucks, and sipping from a wide selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Live music will fill the streets, creating the perfect summer soundtrack as friends and families gather.

This year, we’re turning up the fun with water-based inflatables and expanded family-friendly activities to help everyone cool off and celebrate the start of summer. The Red, White & Blue Parade returns, bringing patriotic spirit to the heart of downtown. Don’t miss the Big Bend Art Walk, organized by the Barton Arts Movement, showcasing incredible local talent in a creative showdown. And the Bike, Brew, Q event continues to bring together cycling enthusiasts, craft beer lovers, and BBQ fans for one unforgettable experience.

Big Bend Bash is proudly brought to you by Great Bend Alive, Inc., the City of Great Bend, and our incredible community partners — all working together to invest in a better, brighter downtown.
