Just 15 miles south of Bend on Highway 97, Sunriver Resort offers a series of enchanting holiday events for the whole family including an old-fashioned horse-drawn sleigh ride. Glide under the sparkling evergreens in the paths around the resort. Snuggle under a blanket with your loved ones as the faint jingle of sleigh-bells ring in your ears and a hot cup of cocoa warms your hands through your mittens. Experience the magic of a Christmas scene fit for Courier and Ives.

The Old Mill District offers free horse-drawn carriage rides for shoppers during the holidays. Over ​50 shops and restaurants in the vicinity have dazzling decorations on display, which parents and children will enjoy while riding through the streets behind a pair of prancing horses.
