"Procession of the Species" - Lopez Village Parade: April 30, 4 pm

Seventeen years ago, folks in Olympia had the idea for a “Procession of the Species” parade to raise people’s awareness of their connections to the natural world. Now an annual tradition in our capital, the parade also takes place all over the world, as people march through the streets in colorful and elaborate costumes of their favorite animals. A quick google search will turn up hundreds of photos and descriptions of past events. This year the “Procession” will be held on Lopez for the first time, and everyone is invited to participate. (No age limits!) There will also be other activities that afternoon. Look for more information as the date gets closer, and start planning your costume!
