Procession of the Species Celebration 2025: April 25 & 26
Created by the community for the community, the Procession of the Species Celebration is a joyous, artistic pageant, embracing the languages of art, music and dance to inspire learning, appreciation and protection of the natural world. The intent of the Procession is to elevate the dignity of the human spirit by enhancing the cultural exchange that we have with each other and with the natural world... and to do that through imagination, creation, and sharing.

Procession News Updates
We have an Art Studio! We are assured of yet another Procession! We will be located at the Olympia Creative Campus Armory once more. And this time, we not only have all the bays of the Armory downstairs, we also will have access to the entire annex building – end to end! – for large creations as well.
Even so, it’s a new year. A renewed undertaking of effort and teamwork. A navigation of familiar terrain but of unknown climate. A venue to cherish equally as an aesthetic intersect of creative intellect and shared kindness. A balm of imagination, creation and sharing that invites resolution for the beauty of nature to reflect wholly within the world about us.
And so, it is with the same uplifting vision and seasonal renewal of enthusiasm that we are all invited to create this year’s 2025 Procession! Looking forward to seeing us all together once again!
