Beaumont Village businesses are gearing up for the 30th Annual Fremont Fest on Saturday, August 6. Activities begin with a lively “Kid, Bike, and Pet Parade” at 10:00 a.m., sponsored by Whole Foods. Local families are encouraged to join the parade! Participants assemble at Beaumont Middle School at 9:30 a.m.
After the parade, join thousands of Fest-goers and dozens of vendors for a day of merchandising, music, food & beverages, and fun in the street. N.E. Fremont St. will be closed to car traffic from 10 a.m.–5 p.m. between 42nd and 49th. For the kids, Peak Mortgage is sponsoring a bounce house, and Wish Upon a Pony will be offering pony rides. And for thirsty adults, participating Beaumont Village taverns and restaurants will be serving beer tasters to patrons with Fremont Fest mugs in the annual Pub Crawl. Mugs will be on sale most of the day at the Fremont Fest Information Tent in front of Beaumont Market.
Due to Fremont Fest’s popularity, vendor spaces are almost sold out, so sign up online ASAP to reserve a space (www.beaumontvillagepdx.com/fremont-fest).
Big thanks to Whole Foods, Pip’s Original Doughnuts, Frazier Wealth Management, and Peak Mortgage for being major supporting sponsors of this year’s event, without which Fremont Fest would not be possible. Big thanks also to the many neighbors who volunteer to assist with setup, activities, and takedown. Volunteers are indispensible to the success of the Fest, and your help is very much appreciated! Sign up at Fremontfest@gmail.com to be a volunteer.
See you on the 6th for our 30th!
