The sense of community is enhanced by the well-known Beaverton Farmers Market, located in the City Park adjacent to the library. Receiving accolades as one of the best Farmers Markets in the West from both Sunset and Country Gardens magazines, summer Saturday mornings are packed with thousands of people purchasing fresh, local agricultural products, scrumptious meals, and baskets of colorful flowers.
Don’t miss the Beaverton Library and neighboring fountain, which attracts flocks of children throughout the summer. “Flicks by the Fountain” draws families in August for outdoor movie viewing, picnic-style!
