Bend is buzzing today as the city’s eighth annual Welcoming Week really gets rolling, bringing together longtime locals and newcomers alike. Running through the 21st, Welcoming Week’s theme this year is "Stories We Share," and you’ll feel that spirit everywhere from trivia nights to delicious food pop-ups. If you’re looking for something hands-on, head out today to Culture Jam, the city’s first major multicultural celebration, happening at Open Space Event Studios. There will be live performances, a vibrant community fashion show, local vendors, and plenty of creative activities for the whole family. And if that inspires your artistic side, check out the Holoboint Quilting Bee Workshop running from ten this morning until one. Or pop by the Artists Studio Tour anytime today until five for a peek inside some of Bend’s best creative spaces.
For families or anyone looking for something unique, don’t miss the Ultimate Scavenger Hunt, Bend’s citywide adventure going on all day. The clues will take you through historic downtown landmarks, public art, and maybe even your favorite coffee shop. It’s a fantastic way to rediscover hidden gems and snap some memorable selfies along the way.
For some big-top fun, the Venardos Circus brings its Decade of Dreams tour to Redmond’s Deschutes County Fairgrounds, with shows at eleven, two, and five today. Expect classic circus acts with an imaginative twist—kids under twelve get in for just nineteen dollars, and the new tent design means a great view of aerial acts for everyone.
In sports news, the high school football season is heating up. The Bend High Lava Bears pulled off a dramatic overtime win last night, beating Springfield thirty-four to twenty-eight, while Caldera’s Wolfpack are looking to rebound after a tough loss to West Albany. Redmond’s Panthers keep marching on with a strong ground game and their win over Pendleton has fans amped for league play.
Here’s a friendly alert for pet owners: Deschutes County Public Health is urging everyone to keep a close eye on furry friends after a recent rabies case in Bend. Remember to make sure your pets are up to date on vaccines and watch out for wildlife.
Infrastructure-wise, keep in mind Bond Street downtown is closed between Greenwood and Wall through Monday while workers remove the giant courthouse tower crane. It’s a minor inconvenience for a major milestone in the Deschutes County Courthouse Expansion, so plan your routes accordingly.
If you want to dance off the week, Cross-Eyed Cricket is hosting Hip-Hop Night dance lessons at eight o’clock tonight. Whether you’re ready to bust a move or just want to watch, it’s a fun way to meet folks and move your body.
That’s the pulse of Bend today—festivals celebrating community, kids with face paint, artists opening their doors, athletes giving it their all, and our ever-changing city moving forward together. This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
