Cottage and suggested we have a fair and take our shops to the street to build neighborhood relationships, said Rumpakis. “The business association members agreed and that was the beginning of the Fremont Fest, held faithfully on the first Saturday in August ever since.”
“It became a celebration of community spirit and a way to thank the neighbors for their loyalty and support, said Rumpakis. “The association wanted the participation of the community, so the the day always started at 10:00 a.m. with a children’s bicycle
parade, starting at Beaumont School. The 1995 parade was led by Mayor Vera Katz.”
Through the years there have been a variety of events and vendors. There have been horse-driven hayrides, pony rides, beer gardens, belly dancing, the assembly of the world’s largest maple bar (which was in the
Guiness Book of World Records, mime artists, bands, entertainers, food concessions, face painting, sidewalk sales and more.
The business association has been serving the neighborhood since 1979. It published its first business directory in 1987. Its first walking map came out in
1994, with updated versions in 1995 and 1998. Also in 1995, the association used a matching grant launched a “Flowers on Fremont” program to beautify the street corners with hanging flowering baskets. The program was discontinued in 2003, and the association installed permanent decorative signs and street sign caps.
“Fremont Fest has helped to make Beaumont Village a neighborhood of businesses and residences that create a small town flavor,” said Rumpakis. “A place to walk, bike, socialize and enjoy each others company. A place where there are stable businesses with dedicated and longtime shop owners. If you’re not familiar with the neighborhood, Fremont Fest is a great opportunity to discover it.”
“One of my favorite Fremont Fest memories is the pie-eating contests,” said Tilton. “We had a bakery up the street, I think it was Beaumont Bakery, and they had the pie-eating contests. They were a blast. You couldn’t use your hands. Just your face. The pies were dark berry, and they made such a mess. My daughter entered the first year, and I’ll never forget seeing her sweet, tiny, face covered in berry juice.”
