The Procession is the culmination of Olympia's Spring Arts Walk. It's three months of planning, crafting, building, teaching, and playing, leading to Saturday, April 27, when we all come together, in joy and celebration and gratitude for this wondrous Creation we call home.

Much of that lead-up is spent in the Procession Community Arts Studio, in the old Olympia Armory, free and open to the public, where you can find a supportive, creative community to help you realize your own Procession vision.

Everyone is welcome to participate - so long as you follow the Three Rules (easily found on the Procession website), and sincerely observe the spirit of the event. It's not a parade ("Look at me! Look at me!") - it's a procession ("Behold and celebrate, with awe and joy, the beauty of our natural world!"). Come as your favorite species, build a float, join a band! Create and celebrate!
