2022 Eastside Talent Show

When? Saturday October 22nd, 3pm to 5pm

Where? Salvation Army Worship Center, 1505 4th Ave E, Olympia, WA (Corner of Central)

What? Local Talent Acts

The Eastside Neighborhood Association is sponsoring a free, family-friendly variety show that will be held at the Salvation Army on the corner of Central and 4th Ave SE.

People of all ages are welcome to attend. In addition to performances, the event will include an intermission with refreshments, and a chance to get to know one another in a friendly social setting.

Our goal is to include a wide variety of performances that will appeal to people of all ages. It is not a competition, just an afternoon of entertainment. The show will include performances such as poetry, singing, guitar, story-telling and piano.

We expect it to be a fun event, and hope you bring your friends!
