Okay, Olalla… what have you been hiding?
◻︎That beautiful old chair in the barn.
◻︎The dishes you haven't used since 1997.
◻︎Tools you have three of.
◻︎Vintage clothes that deserve another moment.
◻︎Books, baskets, lamps, garden things, collectibles and that weird object nobody in the family actually understands. 😂

💜 What a beautiful third edition of the Olalla Lavender Festival!

For one joyful summer weekend, Olalla came alive with lavender, music, creativity, delicious food, and smiling faces at Gathering Places throughout our community.

Thank you to everyone who welcomed visitors, shared their talents, volunteered, performed, created, cooked, helped behind the scenes, or simply came out to enjoy it all. Together, you made this third festival feel wonderfully and unmistakably Olalla.

What a special community we have. 🪻
