Chehalis Centralia Events Calendar

The Summer Splash! Gala moves the party online for the first time. Join us August 28th at 7 p.m. for 30-minute live-streamed event and a 7-Day Online Silent Auction August 21-28. Support the Power of Play! You can give a child the chance to create, tinker & invent right in their own homes! This year’s Gala will raise funds to support the Museum’s newest Access program – Interactive Fun Kits, a hands-on educational experience for children who are learning from home. Don’t miss this heartfelt program featuring special stories about the power of play from kids of all ages…and discover how the Museum is ensuring that every child can learn beyond the screen.

Join us to battle invasive plants along the trail. There is blackberry and tansy galore! Every pair of hands can help. The City will provide a disposal trailer….let’s fill it!
Masks required.
Please come prepared for the weather; leather gloves help with thorns. Maybe your favorite shovel, loppers, or clippers.
Drive into the barn parking area.

Join us to improve the riparian area along the Discovery Trail. This work party will remove invasive weeds; adults and older teens only. The work can be hard, but Oh so satisfying!
Bring your leather gloves if you have them, loppers, etc. Dress for the weather.

Join us for a sensory-friendly Boo Bash experience. This is a special event for families of children with autism or other special needs to provide private, less over-stimulating time to experience the museum.

The Boo Bash Festival offers Halloween-inspired activities, costumes, and more without the fright! Explore a straw bale maze, press apples into cider, decorate a pumpkin and float it in the regatta, watch weird Dr. Science demos, silkscreen a treat bag, and more! Sponsored by Hanson Subaru.
