Thurston First BankThurston County is a vibrant community who loves to come together and celebrate. From parades and festivals to car shows and boating events, there is something for everyone nearly year round. Our events also attract people from outside the area to enjoy all Thurston County has to offer.

And, since many of these events are free, what better way to celebrate Thurston County than to combine this list with our weekly Thrifty Thurston stories. (Thrifty Thurston focuses on inexpensive family fun around Olympia.  You can find all of our articles here.)

ThurstonTalk loves to share with our readers about where we all live, work and play. Below, you’ll find a list of major events, festivals and fairs for 2015. And as always, check ThurstonTalk.com as events draw near for articles and information about each one.  The links below connect to past articles, published on ThurstonTalk.com about the events, giving you an inside look at what to expect from these fun happenings this year.
