Annual Events

Mental Wellness Fair

Mental health and stress management is an integral part of overall health. Depression, anxiety, loneliness, and isolation are common challenges for older adults but are often under-recognized and under-addressed in our society. Join us in reducing stigma around mental health and raising awareness around loneliness, depression and more at our Annual Mental Wellness & Stress Management Fair!

Veterans Recognition Breakfast

To thank and honor those who have served, the City of Tualatin’s Juanita Pohl Center hosts an annual Veterans Recognition Breakfast close to the Veterans Day holiday. This special breakfast is to honor and recognize America’s finest, our veterans – those who are here with us today and those who have given their lives for our freedom and security. Enjoy a delicious, hearty breakfast, guest speakers, and door prizes for veterans.

Letters from Wintertime Characters

Each year, to celebrate the winter holidays the City of Tualatin Parks & Recreation department works with Santa, Jack Frost and other wintertime characters to share our seasonal greetings! Letters are handwritten and personalized to your child. This is a FREE service provided by the volunteers and staff of the City of Tualatin.
