Moving Planet Event:

Moving Planet Day in Downtown Olympia

About The Event

We're coming to downtown Olympia on the 24th, by bike, by bus, by foot or even by car -- but once you're there, drop your wheels and walk.  We're going to prove that the downtown can be fun and do-able on foot, lowering our carbon emissions and supporting downtown businesses at the same time. Vendors and buskers will be out in force. 

From 5 to 7 PM we'll picnic in Sylvester Park.  It will be decorated with Procession of the Species murals and there will be music and even a few speeches.  Bring your own food -- if you can't afford it, Food Not Bombs will supply it (from the library). 

Schedule:
4:45     Artesian Rumble Arkestra performs
5:45     Jack Horton reports on a new trail built today by the
             Woodland Trail Greenway Association!
5:55     Chris Hawkins of Sustainable South Sound gives us
             the prospects for alternative transportation in Olympia
6:05     County Commissioner Karen Valenzuela speaks on

6:15     Dave Griffiths speaks on the Benefits of Human

6:25     Jennifer Witherspoon and her Bluegrass Band
7:00     Back Porch Swing performs performs until we all
             go home!
