Published 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Thursday, July 10, 2025.
Rise and shine, Bend! The heart of summer is in full swing, and there’s plenty to fill your day with good food, local flavor, and community spirit. Start your Thursday with a taste of the region at the Sunriver Resort Farmers Market, open from ten to two. Local vendors will be serving up fresh produce, baked goods, and handmade treats—perfect for anyone craving that farm-to-table lifestyle or just looking to pick up something tasty for dinner later on.
For families with little ones in tow, today offers a unique outdoor adventure for ages 4 to 6 at Cline Falls State Park. Kids can get outside, explore the natural beauty just outside town, and make some summer memories. If you’re in search of a little self-care and relaxation as the sun sets, the Full Moon Sound Journey at the Hanai Foundation invites you to connect through sound and ritual beneath the lunar glow this evening.
Tonight is also a perfect opportunity to experience why the Bend Central District is buzzing this summer. Locals and visitors alike are filling the district’s new restaurants, murals, and small businesses, so take a stroll and discover your new favorite hangout. Ladies Night at Bar Rio kicks off at two and runs until ten, promising a lively time and, of course, plenty of good company.
There’s live music all weekend long leading into the much-anticipated Bend Summer Festival. Downtown will be alive with art, food, and three days of performances—so keep your calendar open for Friday through Sunday. Music lovers have extra cause to celebrate, with Billy Currington and Kip Moore playing at the Hayden Homes Amphitheater tomorrow night, and the classic Cars and Coffee meet returning to Old Mill on Sunday morning for the gearheads in your family.
In local news, the recently completed highway bypass has made driving more efficient, though planners are still working out tweaks on side streets to keep traffic flowing smoothly. On a more personal note, a Bend teenager is heading to Washington, D.C., to advocate for diabetes research, showing once again how our community is making its mark far beyond Central Oregon. Meanwhile, Oregon Adaptive Sports has just received a major grant to expand adaptive mountain biking here, expanding access to the outdoors for all.
As always, Bend, thank you for loving this beautiful place and doing your part to keep it clean and welcoming. From pet parades to fireworks and those spontaneous neighborhood gatherings, it’s clear this community knows how to celebrate and care for each other. Enjoy the sunshine, the markets, and the music, and don’t forget to check out a new corner of town today.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
