Procession of the Species Bellingham

Procession of the Species Bellingham Procession of the Species is Back! Saturday, May 3rd, 2025. The group decided on a positive statement of support in the form of a community celebration.

In January 1995, a group of Olympia, Washington residents wanted to organize an event to both celebrate the 25th anniversary of Earth Day and to support Congressional renewal of the Endangered Species Act. They developed ideas for action and agreed on several basic tenets along with three simple rules. These became the group’s working principles. The Procession of the Species celebration was born!

Since that wondrous beginning, the Procession has spread across the land. In our own community of Bellingham, Washington, the Procession of the Species parade and Community Art Studio were first introduced as part of the town’s Centennial celebration in 20034. City of Bellingham’s Public Works Dept. and Parks & Recreation Dept. sponsored the event with community and business support. Now an annual Bellingham tradition in the spring, the event has continued to inspire the community to celebrate our connection with nature and each other through fun, imaginative and noncommercial activities.
