Happy Valley, OR [September 25, 2025] – This Saturday, September 27th, families, friends and neighbors will gather together in Happy Valley for a nostalgic evening under the stars. Hundreds of community members are expected to attend the City’s Pop-Up Drive-In Movie Night featuring the beloved adventure filled classic, The Goonies.
The event will take place on the vacant, City-owned property where construction of the new Happy Valley Community Center is planned to begin in early 2026. Hosting the drive-in at the very site where the future gathering place is planned to be built provides residents a unique opportunity to envision the center’s possibilities and its role as a hub for fitness, meetings and community events.
“This is the perfect way to bring the community together one last time on this property before we break ground,” said Mayor Tom Ellis. “It’s a chance to celebrate what’s to come and imagine the future of Happy Valley together."
The family-friendly event will include games before the movie, a concession stand and an intermission conversation with local elected officials about the community center project.
