Good morning, this is your Bend Local Frequency for Monday, August 11, 2025.
Another bright Central Oregon morning, and there is plenty to do around town today. If you have a need for speed, Bend BMX is hosting a local race this evening at their track on Neff Road. Registration runs from 5 to 6 pm with racing to follow, a great way to cheer on local riders or get in on the action yourself if you are race ready[1][4]. If you prefer a laid back groove, open mic night returns to Immersion Brewing. Signups start at 6 30 with performances from 7 to 9 pm, all ages welcome and all performance types invited, from music to comedy to poetry[7].
Families looking for an all day adventure can try the citywide Ultimate Scavenger in Bend, running from 10 am to 6 pm. It is an interactive hunt that sends you exploring landmarks and local quirks, a fun way to rediscover the city on a summer Monday[8]. For a dose of live arts, the Tower Theatre continues its busy August slate, with film and tribute shows on deck and a reminder that Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat arrives later this month. Check their calendar if you are planning an evening downtown[9].
If you are planning ahead this week, the Sunriver Music Festival is in full swing through tomorrow, bringing world class orchestra performances led by Artistic Director Brett Mitchell, with concerts split between Bend’s Tower Theatre and Sunriver’s historic Great Hall. It is a regional hallmark that draws music lovers from across Central Oregon every August[3]. Comedy fans can circle the Bend Comedy Festival coming up later this month, with dozens of shows citywide featuring national headliners and local talent. Festival info and passes are posted now so you can map your laugh schedule early[2].
Looking a bit further on the calendar, the Airshow of the Cascades lands in Madras August 22 and 23, headlined by the Patriots Jet Team, historic warbirds including a B 17 and P 38, wingwalking, fireworks, live music, and a classic car show. It is a quick drive from Bend and one of the region’s signature summer spectacles[6].
Whether you are catching the breeze at the track, a tune at the theater, or an open mic under the pub lights, there is something to match your Monday mood. This has been Bend Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
