2nd Annual Olympia Tree Hugging Fest 2026

August 23 at 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm PDT

Join our 2nd outdoor community celebration of our glorious trees with friends and family of all ages. Listen to storytellers and watch dancers move to the music of trees. Trees sing in real time using a device called Plants Play that converts the tree’s electric signals into notes; the music will be amplified for dancers and audience alike. FREE. Donations welcome and appreciated.

4 pm

Tree stories: Listen to the words of storytellers sharing heartfelt stories about trees and nature (Maggie Lott, Tobey Ishii Anderson, Bowen Lee)

4:45 pm

Dancing: Dancers improvise to the music of the cedar tree (Lauren Thompson, Das Biest: Sophie Marie Schatz, Hazel Garden, V. Saverna)

Ending with a joyful all-community dance to the music of the singing Cedar tree!
