Thirteen acts across two stages, food trucks, a beer garden, and a Latin dance lesson will take over City Hall Plaza at The Beaverton Round on August 15, when the 3rd Annual Beaverton Music Festival runs from noon to 9 p.m.

Admission is free.

Now in its third year, the festival marks a venue change. Last year's edition filled Griffith Park on SW Griffith Drive. This time, organizer Florian Raqueno is spreading the lineup across two stages at 12600 SW Crescent St. in downtown Beaverton.

Raqueno produces the event through her company, Florian Raqueno Productions, and the nonprofit Beaverton Music Festival, a 501(c)(3).

The nonprofit funds the day through more than 20 sponsorships, including the Beaverton Area Chamber of Commerce, plus an Inspiration Award grant from Explore Tualatin Valley.

In a 2025 interview with Willamette Week, Raqueno said the festival aims to reach "people who otherwise would not experience live music."
