Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Saturday, November 29, 2025.
Welcome to your Saturday morning update where we're highlighting all the ways you can stay connected to our community this weekend and beyond.
First up, if you're looking to give back this holiday season, Bend Fire and Rescue is hosting a food drive through December 12th at all their stations across town. They're asking for non-perishable items like canned fruits and vegetables, soup, and peanut butter. All donations go to NeighborImpact to help local families in need. You can drop off items at stations on Simpson Avenue, Hamby Road, Jamison Street, Country Club Drive, or out in Tumalo. And if you want to get even more involved, mark your calendars for the Santa Express coming December 5th, 6th, and 8th, collecting toys, coats, and food throughout Bend neighborhoods.
For the art lovers out there, today is a great day to catch a performance. The Tower Theatre is featuring The Nutcracker at one-thirty this afternoon, and they've got multiple shows running through the season. The Tower has been Bend's cultural heart since 1940 and continues to be Central Oregon's premier venue for performing arts.
Speaking of music, the Sunriver Music Festival is bringing something special with Concert Rock Violinist Aaron Meyer performing Rock the Holidays. Meyer blends classical masterpieces from Mozart and Vivaldi with rock favorites from Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin. He'll be joined on stage by twenty local young musicians, giving our community's talented students an incredible opportunity to perform alongside a professional. Tickets range from twenty-five to sixty-five dollars.
If you're in the mood for some shopping and crafts, the Redmond Holiday Village Market is open today from ten in the morning until four in the afternoon, and they're back again next weekend too. Over in Bend, there's a wreath workshop with Summer Robbins happening this morning from ten to noon if you want to get a head start on your holiday decorations. And AD Glass and Design is launching their glassblowing holiday season today from noon to five with hot deals on their beautiful handcrafted pieces.
For the adventurous spirit, the Ultimate Scavenger Hunt is happening right here in Bend today, so grab some friends and explore our community in a fun new way.
That's what's happening around Central Oregon this weekend. This has been Bend Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
