Watershed Resiliency Plan workshop

All ages are welcome at the workshop and encouraged to drop in at any time during the event. The workshop will feature family-friendly activities and interactive stations to learn about key Watershed Resiliency Plan content. Pizza, snacks, and beverages will be available for attendees.

Mill Creek provides 85–90% of Walla Walla’s drinking water and is vulnerable to wildfire, which can affect water quality, recreation, and salmon habitat. The Watershed Resiliency Plan aims to protect clean water, ecosystems, and strengthen the community’s ability to adapt to future challenges.

The Plan is a collaboration with local, state, federal, and Tribal partners to safeguard Walla Walla’s water supply. It focuses on improving infrastructure, emergency response, and long-term watershed resilience. Drafting is underway and expected to be finalized in 2026.

More information on the Watershed Resiliency Plan.

The Last Class
Nov

The Last Class

The Last Class is a nuanced and deeply personal portrait of master educator Robert Reich teaching his final course and reflecting on a period of immense transformation, personally and globally. It is a love letter to education. The former Secretary of Labor might be famous for his public service, best – selling books, and viral social media posts, but he always considered teaching his true calling. Now, after over 40 years and an extraordinary 40,000 students, Reich is preparing for his last class.

Over the course of the film, Reich confronts the impending finality, and his own aging, with increasing candor, introspection, and, ultimately, emotion. He displays a rawness of feeling he has never shared publicly before. Drawing on his lifetime in politics, he uses his class, “Wealth and Poverty,” to offer us all a deeper look at why inequalities of income and wealth have widened significantly since the late 1970s, and why this poses dangerous risks to our society.

One thousand students fill the biggest lecture hall on the UC Berkeley campus, the last class to receive Reich’s wisdom and exhortations not to accept that the world has to stay the way it is. His belief in the next generation’s ability to take on the fight is inspiring.

Women with Wings: WASP Pilots of Washington with Rebecca Hom

Between the two short years of 1942-1944, an amazing 25,000 women applied to fly planes for the US Army Airforce. Only 1 of 25 applicants made it through to the intensive training program. The 1,074 graduates became Women Airforce Service Pilots, the first women to fly US military planes: civilian pilots in an experimental Army Airforce program.

Washington State was home to more than twenty of those determined young women. This is a part of their exciting life stories. This presentation is sponsored in part by ArtsWA and the Greater Hermiston Community Foundation. This event will run 45-60 minutes, with a Q&A after the performance.

Day of the Dead / Dia de los Muertos

Every fall, Walla Walla's streets come alive in color, music, and memory for Día de los Muertos.

This celebration honors loved ones who have passed while bringing our community closer together.

Started by the owner of Grandma's Kitchen, Manuel Perez, to honor of his mother, this tradition has grown from a small ofrenda in his restaurant's basement to a vibrant parade and community fiesta in downtown Walla Walla.

Each ofrenda (altar) tells a story of family, love, and the belief that life continues in spirit. From marigolds and candles to mariachi, food, and art, this event welcomes everyone to celebrate culture, connection, and remembrance

Join the celebration Saturday, November 1st downtown.

Parade starts at 3pm followed by live music, food trucks, and more at Heritage Square.
