Ahh, summer. In Central Oregon, it’s a time for hiking the trails, floating the river, enjoying a beverage on a sun-drenched patio and dancing to live music under blue and/or starry skies.

The region offers a whole bunch of opportunities to do the latter. We covered the biggest of the big names in last week’s GO! — those coming to Bend to headline Hayden Homes Amphitheater. This week, we’re taking a look at the upcoming concert calendar with a special focus on events happening outside, summer concert series and music festivals.

Some things are missing — Munch & Music in Drake Park and Prineville’s Picnic in the Park series, for example, which haven’t yet announced their lineups. But the big list below should give you a good idea of your options over the next few months.
