PARKS DEPARTMENT SPECIAL EVENTS
Lacey Parks and Recreation offers a variety of special events for the enjoyment and enrichment of the citizens of Lacey and beyond. Our summers are filled with music and entertainment with our Lacey-in-Tune Concert and Movie series. Each spring we present the unique and ever-expanding Alternative Energy Fair, where you can watch electric cars race around the course while visiting vendors that will help you save energy. Lacey Spring Fun Fair has been offering free family fun for a quarter of a century. We have car shows and Children’s Day, and much more.


Want to have a fun experience while enriching the quality of life in our community?
