While the merry bells keep ringing, happy holiday to you with extended shopping hours at some of our stores

The Old Mill District in Bend, Oregon is no stranger to the holiday hustle. We’ve got the elves dancing in SantaLand to the north, carolers roving the district in the south, and folks doing the two-step in between trying to check off all their gift list items. The district’s local boutiques and national stores recognize the dance, too, and a few have adjusted their hours to accommodate your holiday shopping goals!
