Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Sunday, August 31, 2025. We hope you’re kicking off this late summer Sunday with a cup of coffee and a little curiosity, because Bend has plenty to offer today – whether you’re seeking laughter, live music, or a fresh air adventure.
First up, comedy lovers can rejoice because the Bend Comedy Festival wraps up its weekend today. Starting at 3 pm and running until 7 tonight, the festival brings together national headliners, rising stars, and regional favorites for a marathon of live standup at venues across town. Passes are still available, and with over twenty shows in the lineup, there’s bound to be a comic who’ll have you doubled over. Proceeds support local performers and help fuel Bend’s arts community, so your laughs make a real difference.
If you prefer your festivals outdoors and accompanied by reggae rhythms, the Reggae Rise Up Oregon Music Festival is in full swing at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds in Redmond right up through 11:30 tonight. Expect top artists, immersive art installations, unbeatable vibes, and a family-friendly scene with plenty for kids and adults alike. It’s one of Central Oregon’s biggest musical weekends, so bring sunscreen and your best dance moves.
For music fans looking a bit closer to home, the Hayden Homes Amphitheater hosts the iconic band Chicago tonight at 7:30. It’s a rare treat to catch world-class acts at this beautiful riverside venue in Bend, and tickets have been selling fast. Consider taking a seat on the lofted Deck or springing for exclusive VIP cabanas for a memorable night under the stars.
Food news takes a bittersweet turn today. Prep – A Chefs’ Kitchen, the well-loved community commissary kitchen on Revere Avenue, is preparing to close its doors for good after eight years. Prep has launched more than 275 food businesses in Central Oregon, making it a vital piece of Bend’s culinary culture. While owner Mark Louis Katzman heads into retirement, some makers are scrambling to find new kitchens, and Tekka Tiger, the Southeast Asian food cart, is relocating to North Highway 97 and planning to expand its offerings. So watch for those fresh flavors at their new digs come October.
Outdoors, the Little Woody Beer Run kicked off yesterday, but the revelry carries on today with barrel-aged brews, games, and live music at the Deschutes Historical Museum. If you missed the 5K, you can still join the festivities: grab a woody tasting glass, enjoy local pours, and vote for your favorite costumed runners.
On the sports front, Oregon State head coach Trent Bray is facing tough questions after the Beavers’ week one football loss to Cal. The local Summit High football team made headlines this weekend, with standout plays promising an exciting season ahead.
For those itching to get out onto the trails, cooler-than-average summer temperatures mean perfect hiking conditions. Experts say it’s natural variability, not a climate reversal, so get outside while the weather is friendly. The brewing wildfire northeast of Sisters remains only partially contained, so check trail status before heading that way.
Finally, huge congratulations to St. Charles Health System, which just awarded over $85,000 in grants to local nonprofits, bolstering community health and services across Central Oregon. That’s a real boost for our region.
Whether you spend your day laughing, dancing, cheering, sipping, or exploring, Bend promises a lively Sunday. This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
