Connecting Our Communities
Community festivals to pick from
There’s no shortage of
A
ny community
worth its salt has at
least one rip-roaring
community festival
capable of pulling even the
most unsociable citizen out of
his recliner and out into the
open air. Lake Oswego wor-
ships art, Tigard goes bonkers
for hot-air balloons. In Sher-
wood, they drank the Robin
Hood Kool-Aid decades ago,
Tualatin reveres the crawfish,
and West Linn and Beaverton
invented festivals based on
old-time fun and park-based
partying, respectively.
What follows is a partial
list, complete with websites
and phone numbers.
Party on.
