This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.

Have you always wanted to learn about some of our native trees, plants and shrubs growing along the river when hiking? This free educational session may be a perfect way to spend your morning!
Please join the Chehalis Land Trust team and Naturalist and Wildlife Guide Ryan Johnson for a walk at Chehalis River Discovery Trail.
In this session, Ryan will point out key trees and plants for us to learn, while discussing strategies and tips for identifying them in the field, as well as some of their relevant ethnobotanical history!
This hike will be considered easy difficulty. We’ll cover less than two miles, with frequent stops to review and interpret different plants we see along the path.
Please RSVP at the link below, the event is free!

Imago’s shows have been described as Cirque Du Soleil-evoking acrobatics mixed with Mummenschanz-like mime, set in a unique, yet accessible, French-influenced, avant-garde playground. ZooZoo is penguins playing musical chairs, a cat trapped in a giant paper bag, hippos with insomnia, anteaters as waiters, and a madcap revue of illusion, comedy and fun that has inspired audiences nationwide. Imago has performed in China, Europe and at some of North America’s most revered festivals.
A good time for the entire family!
