This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Join us January 17, 2025 from 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. at Centralia College for a viewing of The Lost Salmon, which “chronicles the plight and potential recovery of the iconic spring chinook salmon of the Pacific Northwest. Faced with extinction in many river systems of the West, a new genetic discovery could aid in their recovery. Once teaming in the millions and a sacrament for the oldest civilizations in the Americas, time is running out for the genetically distinct wild salmon” (PBS). Come eat popcorn and discuss what we can do to help save this incredible fish that call our rivers home!

Every winter, the Chehalis Land Trust Team plants trees along the river at Discovery Trail to help support the reinvigoration of this critical habitat!
Work will include removing invasive thistles, invasive canary grass, scouting tree locations, learning tree species, digging and planting bare root trees, and collaring saplings for protection.
We appreciate your support, and we hope you can join us!
Are you over your ex? Or still nursing a broken heart? Either way, it’s time to get your revenge – with laughter! Join us at The Juice Box Public House for a night of hilarious “Roast Your Ex” fun.
Host Cheri Hardman and her band of witty comedians will be dishing out jokes about dating, heartbreak, and relationships gone wrong. And if you’re feeling bold, you can roast your own ex! Don’t worry, it’s all in good fun – we promise plenty of laughs and zero hard feelings.
So grab your friends, bring your ex’s photo (or voodoo doll), and get ready to leave that baggage behind. This is the cathartic, sides-splitting breakup bash you didn’t know you needed. We can’t wait to see you there!

Join us for a hands-on workshop learning all about the tiny critters living in our local waterways! Daron Williams, a Habitat Biologist for the Department of Fish and Wildlife, will guide us in sampling and identifying macroinvertebrates, and speak on what they can tell us about the health of our streams. Don’t miss out on an opportunity to explore an important conservation area (managed by Capitol Land Trust) and get up close and personal with these fascinating (and often overlooked) creatures. Exact location provided after RSVP – limited spots available!
We recommend dressing warm and waterproof! Rubber boots are recommended, as you will have a chance to step into the stream to collect samples. Terrain is relatively flat but bumpy. Participants will not be expected to walk more than half a mile. There are no facilities on site, so please make sure to go before the workshop if a bush is not your ideal bathroom!
