Hello, Washington County! 🎉
It’s “the mountain is out” season, which is my favorite season. I went over to George Himes Park in Portland last weekend and was blown away by the show the mountain was putting on for us. If you’ve never been to George Himes Park, it’s not too far from Tigard, and will give you some great views.
Always check the event source before heading out, as details can change last minute. I collect events and create this list by hand, so events aren’t automatically updated if there’s a change.
✅ means it’s a free event. If you’re enjoying a free event at a spot with food or drinks, show some love by supporting the venue!
