I came here July 2018, and it was surprisingly lit. Did not have expectations going in and was…read morepleasantly surprised. Lots of vendors - diversity in food booths and cultures represented. Some booths sold cultural items and were very interesting. The performances were WOW.

First time to this event on a beautiful August evening…read more Event opens at 5 p.m and closes at 10 p.m. Event is popular and inclusive of the many diverse cultures in the area. Plenty of people. Come early. Highlights: * Free admission * Plenty of food and drink stands with variety of flavors to suite diverse tastes and dietary needs * Unique hand made crafts from around the world * Organized event staff - helpful, ready to answer any questions * Max train station close by * Interesting performances at the two stages with many international themes * Activities for kids and adults * Free give-aways from some exhibiting organizations * Accessible ATM and restrooms * Plenty of information to learn about other cultures * Good music and vibes Lowlights: * Long lines for food - especially at popular food stands like the Himalayan Dumplings * Parking - this event is popular and parking lots around the area get full. Event parking is not encouraged in surrounding parking lot. Didn't see a dedicated event parking area. Use Max train if possible * Some vendors up-charge items and only take cash. * Not enough seating areas to watch the performances at the main stage * Crowded - be comfortable being very close to people and possibly rubbing shoulders. If you are in the area, bookmark this event. I found it worthwhile, enjoyed it, and learned a lot. Check their website for event details and dates. Bring cash and an empty stomach to taste all the different foods and drinks.

Updating the review three years later because, as predicted, the Hillsboro installment of this air…read moreshow isn't the one worth attending anymore. Thanks to the city's haphazard approach to zoning and hasty provision of incentives for data center construction, the aerobatic box for this event has been reduced to a bare minimum and flight teams no longer take part in the festivities. That leaves Hillsboro with a few propeller-driven stunt planes and a maximum of three military-gifted jets occasionally bunching together in flyover formation, but performing no tricks to speak of. The airport itself has decided to make itself a point of contention within the community by announcing plans to build a private jet hub: The kind of thing that facilities typically lobby for when they're more remote, or surrounded by strictly industrial infrastructure. But Hillsboro isn't Teterboro, and the residential properties abutting the airport that put up with the air show once a year aren't willing to deal with apparel-company G6es and wine-country flights simply because some developer insists there's demand. The air show no longer serves as a point of civic pride, but as aviation theater that seats brand-CEOs in the VIP area and shows them how the new runways can accommodate short-distance Alaska commercial craft... and should have no issue welcoming their clients' private jets. Never mind that it'll increase noise and emissions directly over homes, schools, and the main branch of the city's public library: The airport was here first, so deal with it. I can't recommend spending one thin dime on this farce and would, instead, recommend listening to its pleas that it "raises money for charity" and donate your ticket and concessions price directly to the charitable organization of your choosing. Don't finance the marketing of a jet hub that's camouflaged as a civic event--as evidenced by the main event's move to McMinnville, the air show has no particular loyalty to the city or county... only the old boys in their chambers of commerce.

Pretty good air show. Not the biggest and premier teams like the Blue Angels and Thunderbirds…read moreapparently don't have the air space to perform here, but it's still a good show. Food lines got a bit crazy but fortunately few people seemed interested in the taco truck so the wait there was minimal. The tacos were great. Veterans have their own area with chairs, tables and a nice spread of food.

Free-admission festivals are hard to come by these days, but North Plains' annual Elephant Garlic…read moreFestival is one of the exceptions, and this is a good one, perfect for a casual afternoon with friends and family, that isn't going to break the bank if you've got kids in tow. $5 parking in one of the two lots (one adjacent to the festival, the other much further, but with a shuttle) is all you'll have to pay up front. Depending on where you enter, you'll find a row of several food stands and carts, some of which specialize in garlic-related dishes and desserts; yes, you heard me, desserts, such as garlic ice cream! WHAT!? And it's actually delicious?! Beyond the "food court", there's live entertainment at an adjacent stage, an absolutely massive and exciting playground for the little ones, a grange hall hosting a book sale, and a field boasting several dozen vendor tents, with a handful selling garlic and garlic accessories, and the rest running the usual gamut of artwork, home décor, jewelry, clothing, accessories, tasty treats, gaming goods, and other festival favorites. I would like to see a greater focus on garlic as the centerpiece of the celebration, as it does come off a bit as an afterthought (or maybe an aftertaste?). Sure, there's plenty of garlic here for sale, but it wouldn't be immediately obvious as the theme of the whole affair to anyone stumbling across this festival at random. Bobbing for garlic, perhaps? A "pin-the-stake-in-the-vampire" contest, maybe? A "who has the worst garlic breath" competition? The opportunities are endless!

This place is filled with food, commodity, and services vendors and it has such a homey vibe. I thought the Latin America Food Festival was a great way for someone like me who is not super familiar with Latin cuisine and culture to get to explore some really delicious things from several different vendors. Great event and I would for sure be back to try some more things in the future!

I got there, and the rows were basically picked clean, and what was there was old, chalky, and tasted terrible. I went over to the blackberries, which is dumb, given their abundance everywhere. Nothing there that was good or ripe. I went in their cute little shop to see if I could find a manager, and I did see a man that had the air of being a manager, but I couldn't bring myself to pull him aside in front of everyone else having a good time, and say that I've been lied to and I didn't appreciate wasting three hours of my precious weekend. It's a shame because the farm itself is beautiful and very cute. There was goats and chickens and beautiful you pick flowers. Go to Hood River you picks for the rest of the season.

I learned that they made their own root beer and love their cocktail names. We wanted to try some more of their menu but had a sudden food spot as I got really hungry on the way there but that just gives us a reason to come back! Our bartender Shana was very patient and sweet to us as we were looking over the menu and she told us that we can ask her any questions if we come across any. We ordered a Root 84 classic for the time being as we weren't sure if we were going to order anything else as we were stuffed. But they had a sweet deal going on Sunday which was $5 pizza slices or $6 for their pizza of the week. Additionally, they had karaoke about to start when we had arrived. We couldn't stay for that as well as we drove from Washington and were very tired, but my boyfriend said he would be so down to go back on a karaoke night to sing some of his favorite 80s songs. I loved seeing all their different 80s arcade games as I have never seen any of those games as I was born in 1993 so it was really cool to see some early arcade machine designs as well as the pinball machines too. The vibes inside are dark with neon lights which I really love and they had a retro menu sign inside the bar. Mars was the owner who came to introduce us to the place and directed us to the bar as well. When he saw me taking several pictures, he came to tell us how Arcade 2084 came to be and the hard work he and his staff put into making this place come alive. He was very sweet and you could tell how passionate he was to preserve this place and the beauty of the 80s. Definitely worth visiting if you come to Oregon, check our their website and social media for their current events or specials!

Everyone was very friendly and helpful, and the quality was top-notch. I picked up some incredible blackberries, blue-cheese-stuffed olives (and they had samples!), and a bottle of a tasty local rum, and had a great chat with a vendor about how to use zucchini blossoms. The tamales, horchata, and fresh loaves of bread looked delicious and will be on my shopping list for next time. They had a table with activities for kids, and even a fun scavenger hunt for adults. If you are in the area on Saturday morning it is worth a stop.

I showed up for a monthly meeting and a couple of officers came on over to introduce themselves which was much appreciated. I struck up conversations with several legionaries and they seemed like nice fellows. Senior leadership, and two in particular, treated me like I was something they stepped in which left me with a chilly feeling as far as becoming a member went. I was looking for a new post as I have been in Oregon for a very long time but never changed my home post. Found another post in the area that I like a lot better so I hope this post wasn't on a membership drive. I'm guessing they aren't since they seemed to have zero interest in having me as a member. But no worries. The American Legion is great and I am now attached to a post that I really like so it's all good.
