Don’t miss this unique theater experience held outside in the heart of downtown Bend!
It’s the tail end of the big, bad 1980s in Hollywood, and the party has been raging hard. Amidst the madness, aspiring rock star (and resident toilet cleaner) Drew longs to take the stage as the next big thing (and longs for small-town girl Sherri, fresh off the bus from Kansas with stars in her eyes). But the rock ‘n’ roll fairy tale is about to end when German developers sweep into town with plans to turn the building into just another capitalist strip mall. Can Drew, Sherri and the gang save the building – and themselves — before it’s too late? Only the music of hit bands Styx, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and more holds the answer.

Hot Pipes Motorcycle Show is Central Oregon’s biggest, best, and most fun motorcycle party! Okay, technically, we’re the only ones in Bend—but that’s exactly why we started it. We love living here, we love building and riding bikes here, so we figured… why not celebrate it? Hot Pipes brings together a vibrant community—not just from Bend, but from all over Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and California—through a shared love of custom motorcycles, skateboarding, and punk rock.

Our show is a one-day event packed with bikes, live music, vendors, great food, and nothing but positive, family-friendly vibes. But it doesn’t stop there. After the main event, we keep the party going with an afterparty for the grown-ups—once the kids are asleep and you’ve snuck out to finish that epic 90-minute convo with the dude also building an Ironhead who still can’t find the right parts.
