Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Sunday, November 9th. Bend is waking up under crisp autumn skies, and there’s plenty happening around town to keep everyone’s spirits high as we roll into the back half of November.
Let’s start with some good local news for our furry friends. Bend just saw the launch of a new nonprofit called PetsForward, courtesy of the Veterinary Referral Center of Central Oregon. They’re on a mission to make advanced veterinary care more accessible for families in need, strengthening the safety net for pets right here in Central Oregon. If you’re curious or want to get involved, keep an ear to the ground for more about their upcoming programs and ways to contribute to this growing community initiative.
Now, if you’re looking to get out of the house this morning, Currents at Riverhouse is bringing the Bend brunch scene to life with their Beats and Bites Brunch series. Today, you can catch live jazz from the Elise Franklin Trio while enjoying some river views—perfect for both music lovers and hearty appetites. If you’re feeling a bit more social, swing by for Sundays on Tap, where local breweries are pouring five-dollar pints and the focus is all about community and good conversation. There’s also a Taste of Bend event later today featuring brews from Deschutes Brewery, offering locals a chance to sip and celebrate Bend’s craft beer culture.
Want to keep the party going tonight? Dogwood at the Pine Shed is hosting Okay Karaoke with Tammy Larsen, and it’s known for the kind of professional stage setup that makes every participant feel like a star. If singing’s not your thing, stay tuned for eclectic DJ sets later in the evening or look out for one of their upcoming themed nights—they’ve got something buzzing almost every week, from drag bingo to Latin dance parties, reflecting Bend’s energetic nightlife.
Families and folks of all ages might consider a stroll at Fort Stevens State Park, where a Mushroom Talk and Walk will introduce you to the wild fungi of the Pacific Northwest, or check out Bend’s continuing lineup of dive-in movies and family-friendly gatherings at Riverhouse’s pool center. Meanwhile, for those inclined towards the arts, “Once: The Musical” takes the stage tonight at 7 at a local theater. This folksy, heartfelt show is a powerful reminder of the magic that happens when music brings people together.
If your palate craves adventure, Viaggio is hosting a Ronin Sushi Pop-Up at 5:30 this evening, but be quick—these seats are rare finds and promise a one-of-a-kind multi-course dining experience.
On a bigger community note, Central Oregon held its first BIPOC-led political forum just days ago, a landmark moment for local civic life. Local leaders and candidates gathered to discuss diversity, equity, and inclusion, marking another step toward making sure everyone’s voice matters in our region’s future.
Sports fans, Oregon football delivered another nail-biter last night, squeaking past Iowa with a dramatic field goal in the final seconds. There’s still a palpable buzz that’s sure to spill into gameday gatherings across town.
However you’re spending your Sunday, from live music and brunch to meaningful conversations and a bit of karaoke limelight, Bend’s energy is as vibrant as ever. This has been Bend Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
