Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Monday, August 25th, 2025.
It’s shaping up to be a lively week across Central Oregon, but first, let’s talk about the situation around Sisters. The Flat Fire continues to burn northwest of Bend, having scorched nearly 22,000 acres and, unfortunately, destroyed four homes with thousands more still under threat. Crews worked through the weekend, and the good news is that overnight satellite data shows very little new spread since last night. Firefighters have been able to hold the lines, and there’s high hope for containment now that additional resources are on hand. The community is also doing its part—evacuation levels remain high near Sisters, so stay tuned for updates and take fire safety seriously. With temperatures still in the nineties and a Red Flag Warning until Monday evening, everyone is reminded to be cautious and prepared.
Moving into Bend, political leaders met at OSU Cascades’ Ray Hall yesterday morning for a lively Central Oregon town hall. The focus was on the region’s future, with state representatives, city mayors, and county commissioners all sharing the mic. Local voices were front and center, with talk about how to safeguard both our environment and our economic growth. It’s a reminder of how engaged Bend is in the decisions shaping its tomorrow.
For those seeking some summer fun, mark your calendars—this Friday brings Food Cart Fridays back to Discovery Corner. From 5 to 8 pm, expect mouthwatering eats from favorites like El Sancho and Dump City Dumplings, live local music, and games for the kids. Bring a low-back chair and settle in for an evening of great food and good vibes under the Bend sky. Later the same night, Mountain Burger hosts live music from 6 to 8 pm, so you’ve got options to keep the soundtrack rolling.
If you’re looking to stay active, don’t miss the Bend BMX local race this evening at Neff Road. Registration starts at 5 pm, with racing at 6. Whether you're competing or just cheering from the sidelines, it’s a great way to get outside and connect with neighbors.
Looking ahead, excitement builds for the Reggae Rise Up Oregon Music Festival at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds starting August 29. Experience top reggae acts, immersive art, and unbeatable festival energy all weekend long. This is sure to be one of the year’s signature events—plan ahead if you’re a music lover.
Throughout the week, keep an eye on air quality reports, as the fire and heat may affect outdoor activities. Bend Park and Recreation has ongoing community events, including the ever-popular Movies in the Park series. Grab your chairs and blankets, and enjoy a movie night beneath the stars—just check updates for any potential delays.
Finally, the Bend Fire Department reminds everyone to check smoke alarms after a recent home fire caused by a closet light. It’s a timely tip as wildfire season continues, so make sure your safety devices are working.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
