The 2010 Fremont Festival takes place Saturday, August 7th on NE Fremont between 42st and 50th.
Presented by the Beaumont Business Association, the Fremont Fest features a parade, fun runs, a fashion show, live music, horse and wagon rides, a homemade salsa challenge, and of course local artisans and vendors.
The fest runs from 10am until 5pm.
The Kids’ Zone features a petting zoo, a cake walk, bounce houses, and a pie eating contest!
A Pub Crawl, from noon until 4pm, is part of the festivities too! At tables near the main stage and Doc George’s Jazz Kitchen (4605 NE Fremont) pick up your mug and 5 tokens for $10 ($1 each additional taste). Then stop in at the Alameda Brewhouse, McPeet’s Pub, Pizzicato, Soluna Grill, and the Beaumont Market for special beers (visit the Oregon Brewers Guild blog for more details, including the specially available beers).
