You do not want to miss this show! This Sunday get ready to stomp your feet, laugh, cry, and hear sounds you've never heard before with Medusa. Wielding a sound that would turn classical music scholars to stone, these four folk musicians are reimagining the string quartet. By inviting back voices previously regarded as too ugly for “polite society,” Medusa tempts us to redefine what is beautiful.
Show is at 6pm. Call today for tickets and dinner reservations! 360-705-2819
$25 / $18 for students & those w/low income

Our Story

New Traditions Fair Trade is a place to discover beautifully handcrafted art, housewares, textiles, jewelry, apparel, toys and accessories from cultures around the world. The products we sell support Indigenous communities, cultural survival, Eco-Projects, Women's empowerment & Economic Opportunity through fair, equitable and direct trade relationships. Traditions cafe is a community center for wholesome food, concerts, workshops and public forums; a gathering place for a community of interesting and involved people. This site is about community - from our friends here in Olympia to the wider community of the world. Here you'll find useful information, upcoming events, stories and connections to others.

We are continually working on how we can better serve our community and share the narratives of marginalized communities i.e people of color, first nation, LGBTQIA, survivors of trafficking and abuse, and all those adversely affected by capitalism, fast fashion, harmful trade deals and modern day slavery.

We value your feedback and suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact us!
