Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Saturday, September 6th, 2025. We hope you’re kicking off your weekend with a smile, because there’s a lot happening around town and plenty of ways to get out and enjoy this beautiful stretch of late summer in Central Oregon.
Last night, Downtown Bend was buzzing with the First Friday Artwalk, and if you missed it, you can still catch some lingering art displays and live music throughout the weekend. Downtown is truly alive right now, so grab a coffee at your favorite spot and stroll through some galleries before the crowds roll in.
As we look ahead this weekend, Pavilion-Palooza is back at Larkspur Community Center. Think roller skating, live DJ music, and hula performances all afternoon—plus food and free lemonade to keep your energy up. It is a family-friendly party and, best of all, admission is free thanks to local sponsors. A perfect spot to bring the kids or take a break from your weekend to-do list.
If you’re eager for outdoor action, circle your calendar for next weekend’s Bend Surfest, coming up September 13th and 14th at McKay Park. Expect talented surfers battling for cash prizes and bragging rights, but it’s not just about the competition—it’s an all-ages river party with music, art, vendors, and that classic Bend community spirit. Even if you’re not catching a wave, it’s a great excuse to hang by the water and soak up the scene.
Transportation update for those moving around town: expect intermittent delays and lane closures on Tumalo Road and at the Skyliners and Skyline Ranch intersection as crews work on road improvements. Night paving is happening, so plan ahead if you’re headed that way. As always, drive carefully near construction and follow posted detours.
Central Oregon is keeping an anxious eye on wildfire activity as the Marks Creek Fire near Prineville continues. There are evacuation alerts in place and crews are hard at work reinforcing containment lines. Highway 26 remains open, but drivers are asked to avoid the fire area and stay alert for shifting conditions and crews on the move.
On the health front, construction has resumed at the La Pine Community Health Center after earlier delays, which is welcome news as the region continues to face healthcare challenges and rising costs.
Welcoming Week kicks off in Bend soon with a range of events meant to celebrate the rich diversity that makes our community unique. Look for bilingual yoga, multicultural art exhibitions, and community meals starting September 9th—these are terrific opportunities to meet new neighbors and learn more about Bend’s changing cultural landscape.
Before we go, a quick note for anglers and river lovers: With water levels lower and fire risks high, extra caution is advised out there—pack out your trash and check restrictions before you head out to enjoy our natural spaces.
That wraps up today’s round of news and happenings. This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
