Sharing Smiles & Good Times
At Laurelhurst, our connection to the vibrant town of Portland and the broader Portland County community is something we deeply value.
We believe in being more than just a residence. We aim to be an active, welcoming presence, foster bonds with our neighbors and celebrate the unique charm of our home. This means we love opportunities to open our doors for special gatherings, and also encourage our residents to explore and enjoy the many wonderful happenings our local area offers. It’s all about shared experiences and strengthening community ties.
Partnering with Our Portland Community
Does your local Portland or Portland County organization have an idea for a collaborative event?
Laurelhurst is always interested in exploring partnerships that benefit our residents and the wider community.
We believe in working together to make our town an even better place to live.

Our Calender of Local Experiences
One of the wonderful aspects of life in Portland is its lively spirit, often showcased through an array of public events and festivals. These occasions offer fantastic opportunities for our residents to engage with the wider community, enjoy local traditions, and create new moments to cherish.
While Laurelhurst hosts its own engaging activities, we also celebrate the rich calendar of events that make Portland and Portland County so special.
Here are a few examples of the types of beloved local events that contribute to our area’s charm:
- Portland Strawberry Festival: A delightful annual celebration (typically in May) that fills Uptown Portland with the sweet aroma of strawberries, live music, and family fun, showcasing Portland County’s agricultural heritage.
- First Fridays Summer Concert Series: From May through August, the Portland Farmers Market often comes alive with music, offering a wonderful chance to enjoy local talent and community fellowship.
- Portland County Agricultural Fair: Usually held in September, this event is a fantastic showcase of local agriculture, crafts, and down-home entertainment.
- Apple Dumpling Festival: As autumn arrives (typically in October), the Portland Farmers’ Market hosts this sweet festival, celebrating a favorite seasonal treat with music and community spirit.
- Performances at the Historic Star Theatre: Throughout the year, this local gem often hosts a variety of musical acts, plays, and community performances.
EngageLife: Reaching Out & Connection
Our EngageLife philosophy is all about fostering connections, and this extends to our relationship with the Portland community. We believe that participating in and supporting local events enriches the lives of our residents and strengthens our bond with our neighbors.
You might find our residents enjoying these local festivities or our community hosting its own special events open to friends and families.
