Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Wednesday, September 10, 2025.
Bend is waking up to sunshine this morning, and there is plenty happening across Central Oregon to keep you engaged, informed, and inspired. Let’s kick things off with a look at the Bend Municipal Airport’s big milestone. Construction on the long-awaited air traffic control tower is about 80 percent complete. When finished in early 2026, it’ll stand at 115 feet, helping streamline the 140,000-plus takeoffs and landings that happen each year. This project not only means greater safety for pilots and passengers, but it also positions Bend as a leading aviation hub in the region, crucial for everything from business flights to wildfire response services.
On the creative front, art lovers and adventurers should keep an eye out for Wanderlust Tours’ next “Art in Nature” performance series. Local a cappella group Bend Camerata is set to deliver their harmonies inside the ancient volcanic tuff ring at Fort Rock. The evening combines music, stories about the land’s rich heritage, and some of the best stargazing Oregon offers. If you’ve ever wanted to blend a little culture with cosmic wonder, this is your ticket.
Heading downtown, music fans will be excited for two big names hitting local stages tonight. Neil Young and the Chrome Hearts are slated to play at the Les Schwab Amphitheater, promising a legendary evening for longtime fans and newcomers alike. Meanwhile, if you’re in the mood for some networking with a side of caffeine, swing by Ponch’s Place for the Bevs and Biz Coffee Mingle stopping by Northeast Oxford Court this morning—always a laid-back way to connect with others in Bend’s vibrant business community.
Safety is on everyone’s mind as wildfire season reaches its peak. While this year has already seen major fires brush dangerously close to communities like Sisters, experts remind us that homeowners should remain vigilant—trimming property vegetation and practicing defensible landscaping can make a real impact. Stay alert for any public safety updates and respect fire restrictions while you’re out enjoying the landscape.
For families and fun seekers, the Venardos Circus is in town this week, celebrating a decade of magical performances at the Deschutes County Fair and Expo Center. With shows running through the 14th, it’s a wonderful chance to experience classic circus excitement with a unique modern twist.
A quick health update: if you’ve been hoping for a COVID-19 vaccine booster, Deschutes County Health Services reports that supplies are still on hold pending further guidance from federal officials. In the meantime, everyone is encouraged to keep up with proven prevention methods—think handwashing, masking if you’re at higher risk, and testing when feeling under the weather.
That’s your pulse on what’s happening in and around Bend today. Whether you’re enjoying world-class music, catching up with neighbors, or finding awe in Oregon’s wild beauty, the sense of community is as strong as ever. This has been Bend Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
