This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
The Centralia Lighted Tractor Parade, in Centralia, Washington, first started in 2010. We are happy to present our 10th year of the parade for all to enjoy. Please enjoy all the photos and stories. The parade is the under the event lineup of the Centralia Downtown Association, an organization to help preserve and simulate the original “core” of Centralia’s “Historic Downtown” business district and retail.
The wonderful Lighted Tractor Parade lights up the streets each year in the month of December.
