25 YEARS OF FREMONT FEST

The best time to enjoy Beaumont Village’s natural beauty is during the 25th Annual Fremont Fest, held on Saturday, August 6. Presented by the Beaumont Business Association, the beloved festival features activities for all ages, including a cake walk, homemade salsa challenge, and a cornucopia of local vendors. To help celebrate the festival’s twenty-fifth anniversary, a student from Grant High School will design the 2011 logo. Activities start at 9:45am with the popular pet costume contest, and the children’s parade begins at Beaumont Middle School at 10am

FREE MOVIES!

The Beaumont-Wilshire Neighborhood Association (BWNA) kicks off its annual “Movies in the Park” series on Sunday, July 10th in Wilshire Park (NE Skidmore St. between 33rd and 37th). Movies in the Park is part of Portland Parks & Recreation program for city neighborhoods. BWNA’s movie night commences at 6:30pm with live music from The River City Trio, followed by Shrek 4: Forever After at 9pm. Admission is free, and so is the popcorn.
