This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Our annual fundraising Gala at the riverside will happen Saturday, August 3rd to celebrate 30 years of conservation as a Land Trust.
We will have music by Huckleberry, various refreshments, snacks (or perhaps a small wrap), and desserts.
Guest speakers will tell you how conserved lands and riparian forest help cool the Chehalis River waters, which support salmon survival. The work of the Land Trust and your help will lead to more conserved lands, wetlands, and forests.
Conservation and protection of natural places provide habitat for fish, waterfowl, birds, mammals, and many other species.
The auction is always fun so bring your cash or card; you don’t want to miss that special object or painting!
Tickets will be $25 per person (adults only please). You may purchase 6 tickets to share a table with your friends or family ($150). The maximum number of guests will be 60, so don’t delay!

Every winter, the Chehalis Land Trust Team plants over 50 trees along the river at Discovery Trail to help support the reinvigoration of this critical habitat!
Please join our November 30th Work party at Chehalis River Discovery Trail to prepare the planting sites for the Winter 2024 tree group.
Work will include removing invasive thistles, invasive canary grass, scouting tree locations, learning tree species, and digging and planting trees.
The hike to our planting site is about 1/2 mile or less. Garden tools will be provided, but if you have gloves and other tools and gear you enjoy using feel free to bring those along!
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 lovely potluck celebrating local food grown and preserved by hard-working farmers and community members. Music by Prairie Fire.
Our preservation dinner aims to complement the lively fall harvest dinners that happen in the community. In late winter as we emerge from the cold, dark weather, we can remember the fruits of our labor as we savor preserved goods from our abundant summer and fall harvests. We can celebrate the continuation of the cycle of life that connects us all. We want to offer an evening to showcase local food, nutrition programs, and farmer opportunities. Farming is connection to community eating, health, and environmental sustainability. Please come and see what is happening in our community and share what you may be doing as well.
Calling all producers, growers, grocers, markets, local food banks, food access programs, chefs & restaurants focusing on local produce, community & school gardens, folks who simply love delicious food grown with heart. Kids are welcome. Join us, and let’s unite our missions!
Tickets are free with suggested donation; registration required.

What does it mean to be an engaged American in today’s divisive political landscape? How can we unite to restore hope, revive democracy, and foster a sense of belonging within a connected community? Join us for an inspiring evening with Eric Liu, CEO of Citizen University, as we explore what it means to cultivate belonging, civic engagement, and shared responsibility in a divided world.
Drawing from his books, You’re More Powerful Than You Think and Become America, Liu will challenge us to reclaim our collective power, rehumanize our politics, and move from isolation to community. Through thought-provoking insights and actionable ideas, this conversation will ignite hope and equip us with the tools to strengthen our civic muscle and build a more connected and engaged community.
