Join us for an unforgettable evening of rhythm, community, and the celebration of nature’s beauty at the Balsam Root Bash! As part of the White Salmon Wildflower Festival, this dance party is not only about grooving but also about supporting our local Mountain View Grange.

Get ready to sway to the beats by The Center Street Band and celebrate the vibrant colors of spring in the Pacific Northwest. The Balsam Root Bash brings together music lovers, nature enthusiasts, and community champions for an evening filled with laughter, dancing, and joy.

With every ticket sold, you’re not just gaining access to an incredible party – you’re also contributing to the preservation and enrichment of our local community. Funds raised from the Balsam Root Bash go directly to the Mountain View Grange, supporting their initiatives to foster sustainable agriculture, promote local arts and crafts, strengthen community bonds.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this meaningful celebration! Join us at the Balsam Root Bash, and let’s dance our way towards a brighter, greener future for White Salmon and beyond.
