Winter Mix in Bend: Outdoor Adventures, Immigration Vigil, and Live Music
Published 3 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Saturday, January 10, 2026.
Waking up in Bend today, you’ve got that classic Central Oregon winter mix: snow in the high country, chilly but inviting temps in town, and plenty of ways to get outside before the evening’s events pull you indoors. Mt. Bachelor is in full swing, and if you’re craving some adventure under the stars later this weekend, Wanderlust Tours is still running its Quadrantids Meteor Shower snowshoe trips through January 12, giving you a guided trek and a chance to catch the tail end of that celestial show in the Cascades.
In town, there’s also a serious note to today’s calendar. A vigil and protest calling for federal immigration authorities to be removed from local communities is planned in downtown Bend this evening, with organizers emphasizing peaceful gathering and accountability around how ICE operates in Central Oregon. Expect some impact on traffic and parking downtown around the event as neighbors gather to make their voices heard.
If you’re looking for something on ice but a little more fast-paced, the Pavilion hosts Tier 2 hockey this afternoon as the all Oregon Cascade Selects hit the rink. Puck drops at 4:30, making it a perfect pre-dinner outing and a fun way to support developing regional talent.
Music fans have a big treat downtown tonight as Jazz at the Oxford presents Gino Vannelli at 5 p.m. in the Oxford Hotel’s intimate concert setting. His decades long career and unmistakable voice are set against that cozy downtown backdrop, so if you’re headed that way, plan for extra time to park and maybe grab a bite on Wall or Minnesota before the show.
Over at the Tower Theatre, fly fishing and film buffs come together for the International Fly Fishing Film Festival, a one night only run of some of the best fly fishing films from around the world. Expect anglers, conservation folks, and storytellers all under one roof, with proceeds tied to local Trout Unlimited work on rivers like the Deschutes.
If your perfect Saturday leans more toward local brews and live tunes, Silver Moon Brewing hosts The Smoke Drifters tonight from 7 to 10, bringing a rootsy blend of folk rock, bluegrass, country, and blues to keep things warm even if the temperatures drop.
This has been Bend Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
