This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
The community is invited to the Thurston Lewis Mason Central Labor Council’s annual Labor Day Picnic, to be held at George Washington Park in the middle of Centralia.
This is an open and free event for everyone, whether you’re visiting downtown from afar, live in Centralia or just want to stop in and say hello. Live music, food and more are all on the schedule. Guests may want to bring a chair or table, as seating is very limited at the park.
The home is open on the second Saturday of the month from 1:30 – 3:30 p.m., April through October, as well as July 4, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

In addition to its regular runs, the railroad offers regularly scheduled Dinner Trains. While riding 18-miles roundtrip in a refurbished 1920s dining car, patrons will enjoy a vintage dining-by-rail experience, complete with white linen tablecloths, full china, and impeccable wait staff.
This session will be the capstone event for “Learnings from the Chehalis.” Over the past 15 years, community volunteers, citizens, and government agencies have been putting effort in to making the Chehalis River clean and healthy for people, fish and wildlife. How well have we done? This session will look at progress made on water quality improvement, salmon habitat restoration, water conservation, and the impacts of regulations and policies.
Our capstone talk will be held by a panel from the Chehalis Basin Partnership. The Chehalis Basin Partnership was formed in 1998 to provide a framework for local citizens, interest groups, and government organizations to work collaboratively to identify and solve water-related issues. Come with questions!
A twist on the traditional pumpkin, in this workshop you’ll learn to make unique and adorable pumpkins covered in orange curly silky soft mohair locks, topped with a green stem hat. Something more of a Pumpkin Gnome, or Gnome-o-Lantern? Whatever you call them, they are pure fun!
All the wool you will need is supplied. Bring your favorite felting needles and a felting pad. Other color options will be available.
