Annual Events

Whispering Winds holds a number of annual events that are the talk of Central Oregon. Our Anniversary Party is held every May and features a themed event with costumes, entertainment and fabulous food. Our annual Family and Friends event is an outdoor summer party blowout in August, complete with barbecue, dancing and lots of summer-time fun for the whole family. Sweets for the Sweet in February features a smorgasboard of confectionary delights that go oh so well with champagne. Art In the Garden in July features a number of local artists along with some of our resident artisans displaying their artwork on our beautiful courtyard. Karen Stockton, Antique Appraisor, joins us every September for our Antique Appraisal Show. October brings in German festivities at our lively Oktoberfest, complete with cold beer, polka music, and a German feast. Viva! Vino! is the newest annual event at Whispering Winds in November. This event includes a wine tasting with a local wine expert. And of course, you won't ever want to miss our Holiday Event in December. This theme-based party includes a progressive dinner through the halls of Whispering Winds and can only be rivaled by our own anniversary party.
