  • Hot and Smoky Bend Weekend Filled with Art, Airshows, and Comedy
    Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Saturday, August 23, 2025.
    We definitely woke up to a scorcher today, with the official heat wave continuing in Central Oregon. This is our third straight day above 90 degrees, and the heat is set to stick around into next week. The air is smoky, too, with lingering haze from the Flat Fire burning to the southwest. With an Air Quality Alert for all tri counties, it’s smart to keep outdoor activities to early morning hours and hydrate whenever you’re out and about. There’s a small chance for a pop-up shower Sunday, but for today, expect it hot and smoky, so plan accordingly.
    Bend is bustling with events all through the weekend, and there’s something for everyone. Over at Riverbend Park, the Art in the High Desert festival runs through Sunday, bringing together top-tier artists from the Pacific Northwest. You’ll find handmade ceramics, paintings, sculpture, jewelry, photography, and more, each crafted by the artists themselves. Locals and visitors alike have made this a must-see for anyone who loves creativity, so stroll through and discover a piece of art that speaks to you.
    If you’re looking to get your adrenaline pumping, the skies above Madras are thundering with the 25th Annual Airshow of the Cascades. Running from 9 a.m. till 4 p.m., you’ll catch the Patriots Jet Team, the first performance by a jet team in Central Oregon in more than four decades. Warbirds, wing walking, motorcycle stunts, a Les Schwab car show, two stages of live music, food trucks, beer, and spirits are all part of the celebration. Veterans and kids under five get in free, and the doors are open at Madras Municipal Airport until the show wraps with fireworks tonight. The popular Erickson Aircraft Collection only opens up for the airshow, so bring the whole family and make memories on the flight line.
    Now, for live music fans, Jamaican legend Yellowman teams up with Souljers Rising at Volcanic Theatre Pub tonight at 8. If reggae rhythms are your thing, grab a ticket and head out to Bend’s cozy black-box venue for great vibes, local brews, and community.

    While we celebrate the best of Bend, a quick update on local news: Bend Police are investigating a stolen 2022 Subaru Outback found submerged near Riverbend Park early yesterday morning.

  • Roundabout Improvements, Busy Bends, and Bend's Comedy Takeover: Your Midweek Bend Local Frequency
    Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Wednesday, August 20. Let’s start with what’s fresh in town.
    The City of Bend is hosting an Open House at Reed Market and 15th Street tomorrow, giving folks a peek at planned roundabout improvements. If you’ve ever navigated that intersection during rush hour, you’ll know how welcome that news is. Community members are encouraged to show up, ask questions, and weigh in on what comes next for Bend’s busy corridors.
    The weeks ahead are packed with events. For those eager to mix a little movement with their evening pint, FootZone has the Pub Run to Boss Rambler Beer Club tonight at 5:30. Get your running shoes laced and your thirst ready. If networking is more your speed, Midtown Yacht Club is hosting the Opportunity Knocks August Mixer tomorrow afternoon, a great spot to connect with local business leaders and creative thinkers.
    Music fans and river lovers, brace yourselves for Bend’s biggest concert month ever. According to the buzz downtown, the Old Mill District isn’t slowing down, with shows from Tedeschi Trucks Band, Whiskey Myers, LCD Soundsystem, and more just around the corner. Don’t forget to check out the Ticket Mill for passes and updates. If outdoor adventure is on your mind, remember that with temps approaching triple digits, safety’s a must—bring life jackets, closed-toe shoes, and sober friends for those river floats or SUP days. Pack out what you pack in and consider a guided tour if you’re new to Bend’s waters.
    This Friday, Worthy Brewing hosts a unique workshop on saving seeds from native plants, perfect for gardeners or ecology enthusiasts looking to enrich their backyard biodiversity. Saturday night promises laughter with “THE DOSE: A Psychedelic Comedy Experience” at Bunk+Brew, a show that blends standup, storytelling, and Bend’s signature outdoor vibe. And for choral fans, Heritage Hall is the spot Thursday for the Voices Rising one-day choir event—no experience required, just a love for song.
    Turning to the local headlines, the fallout continues for displaced campers from the China Hat area. The 90-day grace period for retrieving belongings expired on August 1, and many personal items—including vehicles and irreplaceable keepsakes—have now become federal property. Some campers found themselves unable to reclaim what mattered most, highlighting ongoing concerns about support and accountability as Bend’s population grows and outdoor spaces are managed more tightly.
    Don’t let your week slip by without stopping by Brooks Alley for the Bend Farmers Market today, where the scent of fresh berries and flowers mixes with picnic-ready eats from Farmer’s Deli. End your shopping spree with local scoops from Bonta Gelato, and catch the golden hour from a downtown balcony. It’s midweek magic right in the heart of Bend.
    Looking ahead, mark your calendar for August 31 and the highly anticipated Bend Comedy Festival, which brings together national acts, up-and-coming talen

  • Bend Local News Roundup: Tragic Crash, Art Show, Live Music, and Upcoming Festivals
    Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Sunday, August 17th, 2025. The sun’s up over the Cascades and Bend is buzzing with events, updates, and stories that matter to you, so let’s dive right in.
    We begin with important local news. Oregon State Police continue to investigate Thursday night’s tragic two-vehicle crash on Highway 97 near milepost 145 in Deschutes County. The collision claimed the life of a Bend resident, Felicia Devin Nicholson, and sent Earl Christison and several family members to the hospital with injuries. Highway 97 was impacted for hours as emergency crews worked the scene. Authorities ask anyone with more information on the accident to contact OSP[7]. Meanwhile, earlier this week a local man was injured in a stabbing incident on NE Bellevue Drive. Police arrested Marcus Randall Slocum and continue to investigate, reminding the community that public safety remains a top priority[1].
    On a more uplifting note, art lovers are in for a treat this weekend with the 11th annual Local Artists of the High Desert art show hosted by the Central Oregon Metal Arts Guild at the Hampton Inn in the Old Mill District. Stroll the river trail and find hand-forged metalwork, paintings, ceramics, and mixed media pieces, all crafted by Bend’s own creatives. Entry is free, and you might just win a door prize, so don’t miss out—the exhibit ends today[8].
    If music’s what moves you, Jeff Miller & The Congregation bring Northwest vibes to Faith Hope & Charity Vineyards in Terrebonne this morning from 11 to noon[5]. Later, North Bend is hosting R&K Project’s live set at Back Alley Pub & Grill from 3 to 5 p.m. This is a free event, perfect for a mellow afternoon out with friends[2].
    Looking ahead, mark your calendars for Bend Burn & Barrel coming up Friday and Saturday, August 22nd and 23rd. This exclusive festival marries fine cigars, craft spirits, live tunes, and culinary delights for those seeking a refined evening out. Tickets start at 349 dollars, and spots are limited[3].
    Bend’s parks are heating up with recreational events as well. While today’s schedule is light, next weekend brings private gatherings at Alpenglow Park, and the end of the month features the Bend Beer Run with festivities at Park & Float green space, expected to draw hundreds of participants[6].
    Finally, if reggae is your rhythm, don’t forget Reggae Rise Up Oregon Music Festival is set to illuminate Deschutes County Fairgrounds from August 29th through the 31st. Expect nationally known artists, immersive art, and unbeatable vibes for fans of all ages[9].

  • Bend's Art, Music, and Starry Skies: Your Weekend Update
    Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Saturday, August 16th, 2025.
    A quick shift in the weather is bringing cooler mornings to Central Oregon, perfect for getting out and enjoying all that Bend has on tap this weekend. As we settle into the late summer rhythm, events, community happenings, and a few local surprises are drawing folks out around town.
    Last night, many in Bend were treated to a rare sighting in the sky—a brilliant fireball streaked overhead around 10 o’clock. While some thought it might have been part of the Perseid meteor shower peaking this week, experts at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry say it was more likely a piece of space junk from the recent SpaceX launch. Either way, it was a reminder to keep your eyes up because Central Oregon’s open skies are always full of surprises.
    Down at the Hampton Inn in the Old Mill District, the Local Artists of the High Desert exhibition continues through Sunday. Admission is free, so you can stroll the work of regional creatives and maybe discover some new local favorites.
    Tonight, music and theater lovers can catch Rock of Ages in Drake Park, part of Bend’s annual Theater in the Park series. The production brings 1980s Hollywood to life with all the hair, heart, and anthems you’d expect, right under the stars. Show starts at 6, and arrive early if you want to pick out a good spot or enjoy one of the VIP snack plate experiences. Tomorrow, for a soundtrack along the vines, Faith Hope and Charity Vineyards is hosting Jeff Miller and The Congregation from 6 to 9 pm. If you’re a fan of upbeat Northwest bands, grab a blanket and enjoy the backdrop of the Three Sisters Mountains.
    Art, comedy, and local culture continue to light up the calendar. Bend’s Mt. Bachelor Quilters Guild is showing off their latest handiwork at the annual Quilt Show in Pioneer Park today, open until 4. For those looking ahead, the Bend Comedy Festival launches August 31, but you can catch some of the stand-up action preview shows this weekend, with national headliners mixing it up alongside local talent.
    Also in the news, Bend is buzzing about the announced expansion of the Outback water site, set to boost the city’s water treatment and security with new reservoirs and even in-conduit hydroelectric features. Public meetings are being held to shape the future of this ambitious project—so if sustainable infrastructure is your thing, the city wants your voice.
    A look just a few weeks ahead: Bend is preparing for Welcoming Week starting September 12th, a citywide celebration of our diverse community and the stories that bring us together. Mark your calendars for family yoga, cultural fairs, educational workshops, and much more—an inclusive reminder of Bend’s ongoing effort to honor everyone who calls this place home.
    As always, late summer means preparations for back to school and the wrap-up of summer leagues. Watch for updates on Bend-La Pine Schools bus safety measures rolling out this month. A

  • Bend Local Frequency: City Climate, Biz Buzz, and Starry Summer Nights
    Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Thursday, August 14, 2025.
    First, if you’re looking to get involved in city decisions or simply stay up-to-date on Bend’s climate goals, today from 11 am to 1 pm, the City of Bend’s Environment and Climate Committee meets both in-person at City Hall and online. Expect lively discussions on everything from wildfire safety to sustainable growth—crucial topics as our high-desert home deals with summer’s heat and changing conditions. If you’re feeling social around lunchtime, local professionals will be gathering at Currents at The Riverhouse for ConnectW’s Munch & Mingle at 11:45. It’s a popular way to network and chat about Bend’s thriving business scene, so grab a spot if you’re interested in meeting new faces.
    Later this afternoon, the Bend Chamber is marking the opening of Ace Handyman Services with a ribbon cutting at 3 pm, a reminder of Bend’s booming entrepreneurial energy and all the hands it takes to keep our homes—and local spirit—in tip-top shape.
    When the workday ends, summer fun is just getting started. At The Grove Market Hall, the Summer Music Series brings live tunes to Northwest Mount Washington Drive from 6 to 8 pm. It’s free, it’s lively, and it’s a great way to wind down outdoors with friends and family. If you’re craving even bigger sounds, tonight’s star attraction is The Lumineers at Hayden Homes Amphitheater, part of their Automatic World Tour. Doors open at 5:30, and while tickets are tight, if you’re lucky enough to have one, get ready for a uniquely Bend summer concert experience as the amphitheater buzzes with excitement and the river shimmers nearby.
    Looking for something quieter or family-friendly? The High Desert Museum hosts Museum and Me from 5 to 7 pm—a special after-hours opportunity for people with physical, intellectual, or social disabilities to explore the exhibits in a low-sensory environment. It’s free with RSVP, and a meaningful chance to connect with the region’s natural and cultural heritage up close.
    And if you’re heading out on the Deschutes River, a quick river safety note: rescue teams are still working near Dillon Falls after a recent incident. Water levels will be a bit lower through Monday, so plan ahead, secure your gear, and keep safety top of mind as you float, paddle, or stroll the waterways.
    Finally, don’t forget, tonight offers another treat—the annual Perseid meteor shower is peaking, so if you can, lay out a blanket somewhere dark and watch one of Mother Nature’s best light shows.

Tonight, the Old Mill District and Hayden Homes Amphitheater are set to electrify the riverside with The Lumineers taking the stage at 6:30 p.m. Doors open at 5 and if you have not snagged tickets yet, it is still worth taking a stroll along the river for a little people watching and a taste of that festival atmosphere.

    Over in nearby Sisters, community conversations are stirring about the upcoming Locust Street roundabout public art project, with residents chiming in on what sort of artwork should best represent the spirit of the town.

Registration runs from 5 to 6 pm with racing to follow, a great way to cheer on local riders or get in on the action yourself if you are race ready[1][4]. If you prefer a laid back groove, open mic night returns to Immersion Brewing. Signups start at 6 30 with performances from 7 to 9 pm, all ages welcome and all performance types invited, from music to comedy to poetry[7].
    Families looking for an all day adventure can try the citywide Ultimate Scavenger in Bend, running from 10 am to 6 pm. It is an interactive hunt that sends you exploring landmarks and local quirks, a fun way to rediscover the city on a summer Monday[8]. For a dose of live arts, the Tower Theatre continues its busy August slate, with film and tribute shows on deck and a reminder that Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat arrives later this month. Check their calendar if you are planning an evening downtown[9].
    If you are planning ahead this week, the Sunriver Music Festival is in full swing through tomorrow, bringing world class orchestra performances led by Artistic Director Brett Mitchell, with concerts split between Bend’s Tower Theatre and Sunriver’s historic Great Hall.

  • Bend's Weekend Lineup: Trails, Tunes, and Tons of Community Spirit
    Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Sunday, August 10, 2025.
    After a cool and breezy Bend sunrise, we’re welcoming a wave of weekend happenings and community updates across the city. If you’re feeling inspired to get out and move, runners from all over Oregon kicked up dust on our trails yesterday for the 21st annual Haulin Aspen marathon and half marathon out in beautiful Deschutes National Forest. The event was more than just a race—it doubled as the USATF Oregon Mountain Trail Championships, drawing avid athletes for both the challenge and sweeping views. Whether you ran, cheered, or are still untangling your shoelaces at home, congratulations to all who laced up for the adventure.
    Music and culture aren’t taking a back seat either. Faith Hope & Charity Vineyards played host last night to The Substitutes, Central Oregon’s longtime classic rock outfit, with crowds enjoying award-winning wines and a backdrop of sunset-lit vineyards. If you missed it, don’t worry—the vineyard’s summer concert series continues throughout August, so consider penciling in a night of tunes under the stars. Over in Sunriver, the annual Sunriver Art Show wraps up today, welcoming families to stroll through The Village and discover handcrafted art from local and regional creators until three this afternoon.
    On the animal welfare front, we have a heartwarming call to action: the Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office and Humane Society of Central Oregon are seeking loving homes for a dozen Toy Australian Shepherds rescued from neglect in Tumalo. These pups are healthy but need a patient, caring adopter to help them bloom. You can meet them in person or learn about supporting their care at the Humane Society’s SE 27th Street shelter.
    In city news, affordable housing remains top of mind, with Bend City Council recently approving over five million dollars toward new developments. But some big projects, like the much-anticipated new City Hall in the Central District, are still on the slow track while planners navigate funding and future vision for the district. Local business owners see the project as make-or-break for revitalizing the area and unlocking badly needed mixed-use housing.
    Safety heads up for residents: Bend police are urging the public to stay vigilant as reports of scams are on the rise. Take time to verify unknown calls and remember, official agencies won’t demand payment over the phone.
    Looking ahead, late summer brings a packed calendar. The Bend Comedy Festival is set to return August 29, with over twenty events around town, featuring national headliners and Oregon’s funniest locals. And beer lovers can look forward to the Bend Beer Run and the Reggae Rise Up Oregon Music Festival, both at the end of the month, bringing together unique brews, rhythm, and community spirit.
