The Procession of the Species originated in 1995 in Olympia, WA, to celebrate Earth Day. Since that time communities throughout the Puget Sound area and Cascadia Bioregion have held Processions to honor the flora and fauna of the natural world. The Anacortes Procession of the Species has been an annual event bringing nature lovers together since 2021. Associated workshops leading up to the event offer participants inspiration and guidance to create their own costumes and props.
