Whenever there’s a big event in Downtown Bend, they close off some of the streets and traffic has to route around the area. Summertime seems to bring about a spate of these, and the Downtown Bend website today posted a list of upcoming summer street closures (found by my wife):

• Two cycling events
• The Bite of Bend
• The 4th of July
• Summerfest
• A classic car show
• Bend 3 on 3 Basketball Tournament (is this new?)
