Gresham History Week is a summer festival for all ages! Explore events, games, tours, and activities all over the Gresham area while learning about the history all around us. History Week commemorates the 250th anniversary of American independence by celebrating what makes Gresham unique — its people!

Programs will include a city-wide scavenger hunt, live music, street fairs, interactive living history performances, arts demonstrations, history talks, a trivia night/historical costume competition, tours (guided and self-guided), exhibits, and much more. Join local politicians for Civic Night, enjoy great music and food on Latine Heritage Day, and head over to Vance Park for the annual Juneteenth celebration. Then return to Downtown Gresham to meet colorful figures from our city’s past! Prizes are in store for those who find these historical Greshamites and learn their secrets.

History Week holds opportunities for people of all ages to have fun, learn, and connect with the community!
