Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Wednesday, July 9th, 2025.We’re easing into mid-July with beautiful mornings and another packed schedule of happenings here in Bend. Kicking things off, shared e-bikes are making a permanent comeback to our city this week. Bend is teaming up with mobility company Veo to provide a fleet of e-bikes, making it easier for locals and visitors to get around sustainably just as summer traffic ramps up. Get ready to see those bikes at designated locations around town, and keep an eye out for the rollout at the end of the week. It’s a great way to explore downtown or hit up our breweries and parks without the parking hassle.Speaking of fun out and about, the Munch & Music concert series continues tomorrow evening in Drake Park. The free shows run from five to nine, featuring food trucks, family activities, and a vibrant local crowd. For Thursday music fans, you’ll also find The Critical Blues Band at River’s Place and live tunes at The Grove Market Hall—both free, and both a perfect pairing with Bend’s summer sunshine and patio culture. For those looking ahead, next week Bar Rio downtown hosts their Live Music series on Thursday and Sunday nights, so there’s always something to mark on your musical calendar.If comedy is more your style, tickets are on sale for the Bend Comedy Festival, coming up in late August with national headliners and local talent. And if live music is in your plans this weekend, don’t miss the outdoor show with Allah-Las at Volcanic Theatre Pub. Central Oregon’s festival atmosphere is in full gear, so grab your friends, bring a blanket, and enjoy summer under the stars.On the community front, several local nonprofits are making waves this week. Healing Reins Equine Assisted Services has begun construction on expanded clinical programs, responding to our region’s growing need for pediatric physical and occupational therapy. It’s a big step forward for inclusive health options in Central Oregon. Oregon Adaptive Sports was just awarded a sixty-thousand dollar grant from Travel Oregon to expand adaptive mountain biking, opening up more outdoor adventures for athletes of all abilities.If you're a local retailer, don’t forget—applications are open for the Bend Connect Retail Theft Prevention Grant. The deadline is August 3rd, and it’s a real chance to enhance safety while joining a network of other businesses and local law enforcement.For those interested in the outdoors, wildflowers are putting on a spectacular show in the Badlands, but remember to stick to the trails to preserve those fragile blooms for everyone who comes after you.Finally, for families searching for summer activities, Bend Park & Rec is running multi-session cooking camps for kids—mixing up fun, food, and learning. And for a good old-fashioned market experience, the Sunriver Resort Farmers Market is open tonight from six-thirty to eight-thirty, offering local produce and artisan goods.That wraps up today’s look at what’s happening around Bend.
