HOLLYWOOD DISTRICT

:''For other uses, see Hollywood (disambiguation)''
The 'Hollywood District' (originally Hollyrood, after the Scottish Holyrood) is a neighborhood of NE Portland, Oregon named for its historic 1920s era Hollywood Theatre. Although a mixed commercial and residential area, it serves primarily as a shopping district to the adjacent neighborhoods of Grant Park and Laurelhurst, as well as riders of the MAX Light Rail System. Hollywood also figures in Beverly Cleary's Klickitat Street series of books, a fact memorialized in a display at the neighborhood library. Details on a Beverly Cleary walking tour are available at the library.
It is home to the Hollywood Farmers Market, a seasonal Farmers market located on NE Hancock between 44th and 45th Avenues. It is open Saturdays from 8 AM to 1 PM between May and October. The Hollywood Boosters started "Hollywood at Night" in summer of 2006. This is a monthly neighborhood event that takes place on the third Thursday of every month to bring together together residents and local businesses.
