Festivals and events

[edit]

A bicycle event for local residents in the Twin Cities, known as the Centralia to Chehalis Bike Ride, was held continuously from the late 20th century into the 3rd millennium. The "C to C" route meandered from the park to around the Chehalis–Centralia Airport, residential neighborhoods, and finishing at the Recreation Park Complex in Chehalis.[1]
