A day to celebrate the unique dynamism of our bioregion and movement.
To Celebrate Cascadia Day, we are inviting anyone that feels so moved to share a picture, poem, song, story or short video in this thread that helps to share something of the essence of this amazing place we call home.
If you are sharing someone elses creation, please include attributions (and with permission 😊)
What Is Cascadia Day?
“We celebrate Cascadia Day to remind ourselves of distinct regional values, unique traditions, inherent beliefs, and our devotion to creating a sustainable and equitable community in which leadership is in the hands of the people and a strong community is our greatest asset.”
From the mountains to the sea, our home features some of the most diverse, beautiful, and dynamic landscapes in the world. Our people are as diverse as the beauty that surrounds us. We are abundantly blessed, and therefore, we celebrate a holiday to highlight our uniqueness and diversity and as a reminder of our responsibility to act as faithful stewards of the wondrous bounty with which we are endowed.
Cascadia Day is May 18th. It is an opportunity to educate and celebrate our beautiful bioregion. We hope each of you will join us in celebrating Cascadia Culture Week, the time before and after Cascadia Day each year when we celebrate the incredible diversity and culture that make this region so wonderful.

May 18th – Cascadia Day
Cascadia Day was chosen as a day to celebrate by David McCloskey, one of the early founders of Cascadian bioregionalism. The first Cascadia Day was celebrated in 2012 and grew out of an Cascadia Unconference in Eugene, Oregon. It was organized and celebrated by Elona Underwood with Cascadia Education Project, Mel and Devin and Casey with Cascadia Matters, and Brandon Letsinger with the Cascadia Department of Bioregion. Now, it’s up to you to keep this wonderful tradition alive!
