Bend Local Frequency: City Climate, Biz Buzz, and Starry Summer Nights
Published 8 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Thursday, August 14, 2025.
First, if you’re looking to get involved in city decisions or simply stay up-to-date on Bend’s climate goals, today from 11 am to 1 pm, the City of Bend’s Environment and Climate Committee meets both in-person at City Hall and online. Expect lively discussions on everything from wildfire safety to sustainable growth—crucial topics as our high-desert home deals with summer’s heat and changing conditions. If you’re feeling social around lunchtime, local professionals will be gathering at Currents at The Riverhouse for ConnectW’s Munch & Mingle at 11:45. It’s a popular way to network and chat about Bend’s thriving business scene, so grab a spot if you’re interested in meeting new faces.
Later this afternoon, the Bend Chamber is marking the opening of Ace Handyman Services with a ribbon cutting at 3 pm, a reminder of Bend’s booming entrepreneurial energy and all the hands it takes to keep our homes—and local spirit—in tip-top shape.
When the workday ends, summer fun is just getting started. At The Grove Market Hall, the Summer Music Series brings live tunes to Northwest Mount Washington Drive from 6 to 8 pm. It’s free, it’s lively, and it’s a great way to wind down outdoors with friends and family. If you’re craving even bigger sounds, tonight’s star attraction is The Lumineers at Hayden Homes Amphitheater, part of their Automatic World Tour. Doors open at 5:30, and while tickets are tight, if you’re lucky enough to have one, get ready for a uniquely Bend summer concert experience as the amphitheater buzzes with excitement and the river shimmers nearby.
Looking for something quieter or family-friendly? The High Desert Museum hosts Museum and Me from 5 to 7 pm—a special after-hours opportunity for people with physical, intellectual, or social disabilities to explore the exhibits in a low-sensory environment. It’s free with RSVP, and a meaningful chance to connect with the region’s natural and cultural heritage up close.
And if you’re heading out on the Deschutes River, a quick river safety note: rescue teams are still working near Dillon Falls after a recent incident. Water levels will be a bit lower through Monday, so plan ahead, secure your gear, and keep safety top of mind as you float, paddle, or stroll the waterways.
Finally, don’t forget, tonight offers another treat—the annual Perseid meteor shower is peaking, so if you can, lay out a blanket somewhere dark and watch one of Mother Nature’s best light shows.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
