Description: As this once-rural suburb grows into a city, it continues to celebrate a tradition dating from 1957. The event is split between the Commons in downtown Tualatin and the Community Park just a short stroll away. This popular event features parades, a 5K race, remote-control boat racing, a pancake breakfast, and many, many booths. You’ll find lots of crawfish dishes, including a crawfish cookoff. Many activities are designed just for the children, and there’s plenty of entertainment—music, dancing—for adults as well. There’s a small admission fee for entering the events at the Community Park, but not for those on the Commons.
