If you have lived in Tualatin for more than a summer, you already know the drill. The lawn chairs come out of the garage sometime in early July, the cooler gets packed by 5:45, and by 6:30 someone has claimed the good shady spot near the stage. What most residents do not realize until they have missed a show is that the free concert series is not a single event repeated in one park. It moves. Three different venues, three different personalities, and three different parking realities. The night you pick determines whether you walk five minutes from your front door or circle Sagert Street for twenty.
This is the local knowledge worth having before the weekend. The Tualatin summer calendar is legible if you read it by venue, not by date, and the smartest way to plan a night out this month is to pick your park first and your dinner second.
