Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Thursday, September 18th, 2025.Bend is waking up to cool, autumn weather and a surge of activity, so let’s dive into all the happenings around town. Kicking things off, local educators have their own special event tonight. The High Desert Museum is hosting Educators’ Night Out from 6 to 8 pm. It’s a back-to-school mixer for adults, bringing together teachers, administrators, and education supporters for networking, demonstrations, and take-home resources—all paired with light refreshments. If you’re in education or just curious about how our schools connect with the wider community, this is a great spot to meet the folks shaping Bend’s next generation.On the arts and music front, tomorrow night brings Thump’s Summer Music and Pizza Night. Locally loved musicians will fill the air with tunes, while Thump’s kitchen keeps the pizza coming, all set against a stunning mountain backdrop. Doors open for pizza at 5:30, and the music starts at 6—so plan a casual Friday out and soak in that quintessential Bend summer evening.Speaking of rhythm, the community is abuzz with anticipation for the FairWell Festival at the Deschutes County Fairgrounds. The two-day festival starts this weekend and boasts a lineup packed with heavy hitters from Americana to country-the likes of Tyler Childers and Sturgill Simpson are set to perform.
