A Message from the Mayor

Mayor’s Message – Come Enjoy Summer Events

One of my favorite things about living in Happy Valley is relaxing and enjoying conversations at our numerous community events throughout the summer. Whether it’s a concert in the park or a large festival, there is something for everyone!

This week, we’re kicking things off with the annual 4th of July Family Festival. Join us for a parade, food, music, and fireworks. This is a great way to celebrate the holiday.

If you love music or just like to enjoy catching up with neighbors and friends on a summer evening, then we have two weekly concert series for you. Concerts in the Valley begin July 10 at Happy Valley Park and continue each Thursday night. This year, the band line-up consists of tribute bands each week. In addition, there are a variety of fun activities planned to keep you and the kids entertained.

Happy Valley Library’s Concerts in the Park series will also return on Friday nights starting July 25. These concerts take place on the lawn directly across from the main library building and are a great way to unwind after a long week. If you like to read, don’t forget to visit the library and sign up for the annual Summer Reading Program.

Another community favorite is National Night Out, which takes place Aug. 5. Musical entertainment and educational safety booths will be set up at Happy Valley Park to help celebrate our first responders and Happy Valley Police. Come and get to know the deputies that patrol our community and make connections with members of the Public Safety Team that are committed to keeping us safe.

Whether you attend a summer community event, plan a neighborhood Block Party, rent a park picnic shelter, or visit the local farmers market, I hope you enjoy Happy Valley in the weeks to come.
