Purpose of the Calendar
The purpose of the Explore Tualatin Valley Events & Festivals calendar is to feature special events whose appeal is broad enough to attract out-of-area visitors or entice visitors to extend their stay or provide a tourism-related activity available to visitors and residents alike. The Explore Tualatin Valley Events & Festival calendar is not meant to be a community calendar and does not list non-tourism related events.
Criteria for Inclusion
- Event must be located in Washington County, Oregon
- Event must be open to the public (priority will be given to events with high visitor appeal that will attract visitors from outside of the area)
- Non-visitor events will not be included on the calendar (examples include, but are not limited to: meetings, conventions, dinners, auctions, fund-raisers, galas, school events, classes/workshops, clinics, camps, on-going permanent events, etc.)
- Events benefiting charitable organizations, such as rides, runs and other athletic competitions will be considered on a case-by-case basis. To be listed, the public must be able to purchase a ticket or register for the event without additional fund-raising requirements.
