Beaverton is apparently the type of city that throws an entire festival to celebrate a newly renovated fountain. Which, if you think about it, is kinda endearing à la Parks and Recreation. Festivities will include a ribbon cutting ceremony (of course), performances and activities, food from Ochoa's Lupitas Tacos and Ome Calli, plus a sound and light fountain show to cap off the evening.
