2ND FRIDAYS ON FREMONT PROMISES FUN IN BEAUMONT VILLAGE
Local vendors show off their wares and attractions at 2nd Fridays on Fremont, a new monthly celebration in the Beaumont Business District. Festivities kick off at Northeast Fremont Street between 40th and 52nd Avenues from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, May 14. Visitors will enjoy shopping with special extended hours, food and drink specials, live music, local artists and additional vendors. 2nd Fridays on Fremont celebrations will continue from May until September, with a Holiday Season scheduled for November and December. As warmer weather nears, additional farmers’ market booths are expected to join in.
Beaumont Village is gaining a reputation for its bustling, unique assortment of businesses, including custom and digital print shop services, auto servicing, and optical sails and repair. Locals point to their favorite boutiques, collectors, card and gift shops, live jazz bistro bars and wine shops, premier cuisine, and family friendly vendors. Many will offer refreshments and markdowns, with colorful sidewalk displays. First time visitors can find out more information about neighborhood news and events, such as the weekly Flea Market on Sunday, May 30. Also in May, a veteran Beaumont vendor will celebrate its 30th anniversary in the neighborhood, The Arrangement. Gift wrapping and greeting cards with a personal touch are their specialty. A Fremont Festival is planned for Saturday, August 7th.
Beaumont Village boasts a hardware store, market, florist, and children’s bookstore on its friendly, small, town-style main street. With trendy shops and eateries, it’s carving out its own upscale and family friendly atmosphere, suitable for strolling or exploring by bike. Coffee lovers enjoy cult Portland coffeehouses while window shoppers browse through a handful of antique shops or gift stores.
