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

Learn about freshwater mussels and lamprey in the Chehalis Basin at this educational workshop! Join Biologists Curt Holt (WDFW) and Teal Waterstrat (USFWS) to learn about these lesser-known, fascinating species. Both mussels and lamprey play a key role in the ecosystem of the rivers and streams and have a rich history in the Pacific Northwest. Learn about the challenges they are facing to survive and how you can help them! This event is free and family friendly.

Join us at the market every Tuesday from 11 am until 4 pm, June through October, for produce, plants, herbs, body care, artisanal goods, and more!
Kids Club is back! Stop by with the kids for a fun activity, and they will receive a $2 token to spend on fruit, vegetables, or flowers at the Market.
Double your SNAP/EBT dollars up to $40
on fresh produce, herbs, plant starts, and seeds.

Join a virtual volunteer orientation and learn more information about becoming a volunteer in the Big Brothers Big Sisters program.
