This community events calendar is the place to find fun activities and things to do throughout Lewis County, including Centralia, Chehalis and beyond.
Girls Night Out is a retail promotion for shopping, dining, and entertainment in downtown Centralia.
Starting points are HUBBUB on the north end and The Station Coffee Bar and Bistro on the south end. Our non-profit is the Human Response Network. Two dollars from every passport sold will go as a donation to them. Also, the first 200 shoppers will get a goody bag. At the end of the night, and it is time to turn your passport end, turn it end at the last business you visit. There will be a drawing of the turned in passports for a chance to win the gift basket! We all look forward to seeing you, so enjoy and have fun shopping and dining in downtown Centralia!
