Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Monday, September 22, 2025.
The sun rose on Bend today with a hint of fall crispness and plenty of energy buzzing through the city. First up, a recent surge in Bend’s population is keeping local planners busy. The Bend-La Pine School District has launched an 18-month planning process to anticipate enrollment needs and explore the possibility of new schools—a sign that families continue to plant deeper roots in the area. Meanwhile, Hayden Homes, headquartered just up the road in Redmond, was recently ranked third as a great place to work nationally, showing that Central Oregon’s job market is as strong as its community spirit.
If you’re heading south today, look for construction on Butler Market Road, where westbound lanes will be closed between Brinson Boulevard and Eighth Street. Drivers are asked to follow posted detours and expect minor delays. Over in southwest Bend, anticipation grows for a new aviation-themed food truck pod and taphouse set to open soon. This venue promises to bring a fresh gathering spot to the area, combining local eats with an innovative twist.
The city wraps up Welcoming Week today, an annual series of events that celebrates Bend’s inclusive community and elevates the diverse voices that shape our collective story. Programming this past week highlighted local leaders from environmental and housing organizations, creative workshops, cultural performances, and a health and wellness fair aimed at closing gaps in local care. If you missed out, keep an eye out for next year’s events—they’re a great way to connect with neighbors and discover Bend’s vibrant heart.
Looking ahead, foodies should mark the calendar for this Saturday’s Luscious Bend Food and Wine Experience at Mt. Bachelor Lodge. Ten of the region’s top chefs will partner with local farms and wineries to deliver a full sensory celebration—expect bold flavors, curated courses, and communal storytelling, all set against the mountain backdrop. Tickets are limited, so grab one if you can.
If you’re after something mysterious or just love a little adventure, head downtown tonight for Bend After Dark: Solve the Murder Mystery. Starting at 129 NW Idaho Avenue, participants will explore the city’s nightlife while unraveling clues in this interactive game open to all sleuths and puzzle-solvers.
Fans of craft beer can look forward to the Fields of Green IPA Tasting courtesy of Fort George, running nightly this week. Sip on rotating experimental brews, meet fellow hop lovers, and enjoy a relaxed Bend evening.
For live entertainment, Volcanic Theatre Pub continues its stellar run of shows. Whether you’re into music, film, or comedy, check out their calendar to see what’s shaking in this intimate venue known for its quirky, inclusive vibe.
That’s all for now. Whether you’re joining in community events, exploring new food trucks, or simply taking in the beautiful September day, Bend is thriving and brimming with opportunity. This has been Bend Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
