There’s something special about spring in Tigard. As Fanno Creek Trail turns green and Cook Park comes alive along the Tualatin River, the city wakes up with energy and community spirit. Spring isn’t just a change in weather—it’s a fresh start. And in Tigard, that fresh start comes loaded with community events, outdoor fun, and family-friendly activities for everyone to enjoy.

Why Spring Is the Best Time to Get Involved

Spring brings people outside, and that’s where community really happens. Neighbors meet on sidewalks. Kids play at local parks. Families head to markets and festivals they’ve been looking forward to all winter. This season of renewal gives everyone a reason to show up—and in Tigard, there are plenty of places to be.

Research from Michigan State University Extension shows that community participation in local events improves neighborhood safety, mental well-being, and a sense of belonging. In short, going to a spring festival or neighborhood gathering is good for you—and good for your community.
