The city of Battle Ground is turning 75 and the city is ready to celebrate. The City of Battle Ground is hosting a free community pop-up birthday party on Thursday, June 18 from 11am to 1pm at Kiwanis Park located at 422 SW 2nd Avenue.

Family-Friendly Celebration

Residents, families, and visitors are invited to join this family-friendly celebration honoring 75 years of community. The Birthday Bash will feature a variety of free activities and attractions for all ages, including mini horse petting, face painting, a foam dance party, and a sneak preview of Battle Ground Parks and Recreation’s popular Summer Playground program.

Attendees can also enjoy complimentary Birthday Cupcakes provided by Rabbit Hole Eatery and Coffee while supplies last. Local artist Ana Gabriela Hansowetz will create a live mural on site. Present attendees will have the opportunity to watch the artwork take shape, ask questions, and learn more about the creative process behind what is hoped to be one of many future community art projects.

As part of the celebration, a videographer will be on-site collecting memories and stories from community members. Attendees will have the opportunity to share what they love most about Battle Ground and reflect on their fond memories of the City. These stories will be incorporated into a commemorative video celebrating the people and experiences that have shaped Battle Ground over the past 75 years.

A celebration like this takes a community, and the City is grateful for the support of event sponsors Principal Properties, LLC, Ana the Artist, and Rabbit Hole Eatery and Coffee. The city also extends sincere appreciation to the many community volunteers whose time, enthusiasm, and dedication are helping make this milestone celebration a fun and memorable experience for all.
