Easter Weekend in Olympia WA

Spring is in the air, and Olympia is coming to life! It has been a long and strange winter, with unpredictable weather, economic uncertainties, and a host of global crises dominating the headlines. But none of that matters this Easter weekend in Olympia WA.

This weekend, the focus around Olympia is on several wildly popular community events as well as a certain fuzzy-tailed character spreading candy filled eggs all over town.

 

Spring Arts Walk in Olympia WA Spring Arts Walk in Downtown Olympia

Spring Arts Walk in Olympia WA is a celebration of all forms of art. Local businesses in Downtown Olympia play host to some of finest local painters, musicians, sculptors, and more.

The Spring Arts Walk in Olympia is free to attend and there are over 100 participating venues along with countless impromptu street performances. There are performances, events, and displays open to the public from Friday night through Sunday afternoon (4/22-4/24).

This one of a kind parade is a celebration of life and culture. People from all walks of life come together on the streets of downtown Olympia and dance their way through town wearing a colorful array of costumes. Everything from the sun, to earthworms, to aliens are represented in this hugely popular Olympia event. The Procession of the Species in Olympia kicks off Friday night with the luminary Procession at 9:30 p.m. then resumes on Saturday at 4:30 for the big Procession of the Species parade.

 

Easter Egg Hunts in Olympia WA Easter Egg Hunts in Olympia WA

Lucky for the kids around town, Olympia has no shortage of Easter Egg Hunts to choose from. In fact, there is even one for the adults!

All over town both Saturday and Sunday, kids will be picking through lawns with their heads down and their baskets spilling over. There are a bunch of big Easter Egg hunts, but several local favorites draw the big crowds. Candy, toys, and prizes are at stake! Check out my list of the top Easter Egg Hunts in Olympia

 

Between these great events and the recent opening of the Olympia Farmers Market, it is a great weekend to live in Olympia! Get out and support local business and enjoy the festivities! I hope to see you out around town.
