Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Thursday, September 4th, 2025.
As the crispness of September settles in, Bend is buzzing with back-to-school excitement. Local middle schools have welcomed new faces this week, and at Pilot Butte Middle, eighth graders donned green “Where Everyone Belongs” shirts to guide sixth graders through their first day, showing off that signature Bend sense of community. If you’re out and about in the afternoons, expect to see school buses and parents juggling pickups, especially with most schools staggering start dates to ease everyone in after summer.
Whether you are here just for the day or call Bend home, there is plenty to do. Art lovers will want to mark their calendars now, as tomorrow evening brings the ever-popular First Friday Art Walk downtown. From five to eight p.m., the heart of Bend will transform into a showcase of local art, live music, and pop-up performances, all rounded out with opportunities to sample regional wine and brews. This is a free, family-friendly way to dive into Bend’s creative scene, meet makers, and maybe discover a new favorite gallery or boutique.
For outdoor adventurers, today brings a truly Bend experience with the art in nature Caldera Pottery and Hike from Wanderlust Tours. Running until three p.m., this guided adventure lets you get your hands muddy making pottery, then hit the trail for a hike surrounded by the natural splendor of the high desert.
Tonight at five, thrill seekers of all ages can take part in bicycle sprint races on the go-kart track at Sun Mountain Fun Center. If you’ve ever wondered how your bike handling skills stack up on a speedy, winding track, this is your chance. Cheer on friends or put the pedal down yourself.
Music fans, don’t miss Melvin Seals and JGB celebrating fifty years of Jerry Garcia Band. They’ll be at Midtown Ballroom tonight starting at 7:15, bringing a taste of jam band history right into the center of Bend. Tickets have been moving fast for this one.
Turning to community news, September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. Today at one at The Cottage on Louisiana Avenue, the Deschutes County Suicide Prevention Team is offering an evidence-based training on recognizing warning signs and connecting folks to support. It is a meaningful opportunity to learn and make a difference, as Bend continues its efforts to support wellness and strong mental health resources for everyone.
Looking ahead, exciting developments are on the way for the local social scene. Downtown will soon get a new country music bar, The Coyote, aiming for an October opening on Harriman Street. Expect neon lights, lounge-style afternoons, and lively country nights, complete with bull rides and a creative cocktail menu.
However you plan to spend your Thursday, from gallery hopping to racing bikes or just enjoying a walk along the river, Bend guarantees a mix of creative energy and community connection.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
