Calling All Future Young Entrepreneurs

The Young Entrepreneurs Program is designed to foster the entrepreneurial spirit among young individuals in our community. An initiative launched with the 2024 season at the Lake Oswego Farmers' Market, this program is an exciting opportunity for Lake Oswego youth in grades 9-12 to learn the fundamentals of business and entrepreneurship. Participants are invited to create their own handmade products and sell them directly to customers at the bustling Lake Oswego Farmers' Market each week.

Applications for the 2026 market season open in January. Attend one of the upcoming orientation sessions to learn more.

World Cinema Series: Little Forest (Korean)

On January 27, join us for a screening of Little Forest. Little Forest is a warm, award-nominated South Korean drama about a young woman who retreats to her rural hometown and rekindles joy, friendship, and purpose through cooking and the rhythms of the seasons.

Little Forest is part of the Lake Oswego Public Library's World Cinema Series, a monthly event showcasing diverse international films. This series takes place at The Lake Theater & Cafe on the last Tuesday of every month at 5:30 p.m.

Admission is free and no ticket is required.

Go sLOw: 20 is Plenty

On September 2, 2025, the Lake Oswego City Council approved an ordinance to lower the speed limit on local residential streets and some neighborhood collectors in Lake Oswego from 25 miles per hour (mph) to 20 mph.

Public Works crews are rolling out the Go sLOw speed reduction program, moving clockwise one neighborhood at a time. Phase 1 includes replacing existing 25 MPH signs; Phase 2 (next year) will add new posts and additional signs. The full rollout of the program runs through 2026.

New speed limits take effect as soon as the signs change.
