This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Encourage literacy skills through art, music and play for children ages two to six. This event is part of the Summer Library Program, a Timberland Regional Library district-wide program.
Enjoy stories, songs and movement games that are especially welcoming to children on the autism spectrum or with other special needs. You’ll enjoy a safe, non-judgmental environment, a schedule board for following along and a sensory-sensitive environment. This is an early learning program.
Chehalis Music in the Park Series at Recreation Park is fantastic for music lovers. Country singer Ty Herndon will perform on July 27 and Halfway to Hazard plays on August 3. On August 10, Elliott Lurie will perform. Bring the family and a picnic, and enjoy this free music.

The Chehalis Mudder on July 28 is all about getting dirty. With a rugged obstacle course, this event is fun for everyone. After the race, stick around to win prizes, eat some delicious food and listen to music. This event is for ages five and up and benefits the Chehalis Little League.

Come join us at the Sanctuary as Jester, a local mead maker, guides us through a workshop on the creation of mead, the world’s oldest form of fermentation.
Together, we will make a batch of mead from beginning to end and Jester will reveal the secrets behind every step of this age-old skill.
Cost of the workshop is $25.
From this workshop you will learn;
• Sanitization practices
• Yeast preparation
• Mixing initial must (must is the honey and water mixture)
• How to ferment mead properly
What you need to bring
For a 1 gallon carboy plus airlock, you will need to bring:
1 Towel to wrap carboy after class
1 gallon of jugged spring water.
3 lbs of honey (natural not creamed)
1-1.5lbs of desired fruit (if wanting a fruit mead) must bring own knife
(When using any size carboy, use above and calculate – a five gallon carboy will take five times the amount.)
I have 8-1 gallon carboys available for $15 a piece at the workshop. If you would like one of these please let me know.
They can be found online (by clicking here) for $10.88.
