Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Wednesday, December 3, 2025. The holiday spirit is in full swing here in Bend, and there’s plenty happening to keep the community buzzing. If you’re looking for some festive cheer and a chance to give back, head over to Tetherow’s Event Pavilion tonight for the annual Holiday Bazaar. From 4 to 8 pm, dozens of local artisans and makers will be showing off their handcrafted gifts, and it’s a perfect opportunity to find something special for your loved ones. But it’s not just about shopping—MountainStar Family Relief Nursery is running a toy drive at the event, collecting new, unwrapped toys to help brighten the holidays for local families who need a little extra support. It’s a tradition that brings together the best of Bend’s creativity and compassion.If you’re more into hands-on holiday fun, there’s a Holiday Wreath Workshop happening tonight at Freak’N Art on NW Wall Street from 5:30 to 7:30 pm. For $85, you can craft your own festive wreath using foraged materials, and it’s a great way to get into the spirit while supporting local artists.Over at the Tower Theatre, the Central Oregon Youth Orchestra is performing their Winter Concert tonight at 7 pm, so if you’re in the mood for some live music, that’s a great option. And if you’re looking ahead, the Swingin’ Tower Christmas show is coming up later this month, with four performances packed with local talent and classic holiday tunes.On the community front, Deschutes County commissioners are meeting today to discuss a proposed map that could change how county elections are run.
