Lake at the Commons Service and Community Picnic
2026-05-25 10:45 - 11:30 | Lake at the Commons, 8325 SW Nyberg Street, Tualatin, Oregon, 97062, United States
The Tualatin Memorial Day ceremony is particularly family-friendly with its large lakeside Commons area for kids to explore and a community picnic at a nearby park afterward. Members of the Portland Model Powerboat Association run their boats on the lake. Before or after the ceremony be sure to walk over to Veterans Plaza on the east side of the lake. This beautiful addition to the Commons opened in Spring 2025. You’ll find a reflecting pool, seating, a labyrinth, a synthetic turf area, a story circle as well as art by Kentucky-based sculptor Douwe Blumberg.

Memorial Day Flag Planting
2026-05-22 17:00 - 19:30 | Willamette National Cemetery, 11800 SE Mt. Scott Blvd., Portland, Oregon, United States
Blue Star Mothers of Oregon have been asked to assist in planting 140,000 flags at Willamette National Cemetery. The cemetery provides the flags; the volunteer is encouraged to follow a respectful protocol. Wipe the headstone, place the flag, read the veteran’s name aloud, and offer a salute.
