If you’re searching for Mother’s Day events in Yakima, WA that feel more meaningful than crowded restaurants or last-minute gift shopping, there’s one community gathering families are quietly circling on their calendars.
The Pages & Petals Mother’s Day Bazaar, hosted at Peach Tree Retirement Center, is more than a shopping event. It’s a family-centered, intergenerational experience designed to honor mothers, uplift children, celebrate creativity, and bring the Yakima Valley community together in a way that feels warm, intentional, and unforgettable.
And here’s the thing—it only happens once a year.
A Mother’s Day Event That’s About More Than Shopping
Yes, there will be local vendors.
Yes, you’ll find thoughtful Mother’s Day gifts.
But what sets Pages & Petals apart from other Yakima Valley Mother’s Day events is why it exists.
This bazaar was created to:
- Support local businesses
- Honor mothers and caregivers
- Celebrate youth creativity
- Build genuine connections between generations
At a time when many events feel rushed or transactional, Pages & Petals invites families to slow down, linger, and truly be present.
Introducing the Pages & Petals Youth Writing Adventure
New this year—and already creating buzz across the valley—is the Pages & Petals Youth Writing Adventure, a creative storytelling experience for children in Kindergarten through 9th grade.
Young writers from Yakima, Ellensburg, Sunnyside, and surrounding communities are invited to submit handwritten stories exploring life then vs. now—sharing their world while learning from the wisdom of local seniors.
During the Mother’s Day Bazaar:
- Finalist young writers are publicly honored
- Families celebrate their children’s creativity
- Seniors help recognize stories that bridge generations
- Every participating child receives encouragement and a goodie bag
This isn’t about competition.
It’s about confidence, connection, and community.

🏈 WATCH PARTY SENIOR STYLE — SUPER BOWL SUNDAY
Have you heard the news?
Yep — the kind that spreads the Yakima way. When Super Bowl Sunday hits, the Seahawks energy is alive right here, and we don’t do quiet. It’s Watch Party Senior Style—SHABANG!
When the Seahawks take the field, we are 12 — all the way. A room full of 12s, cheering together, calling the plays, laughing between drives, and riding every moment like it matters. Around here, it really is 12 as One. The defense becomes the Dark Side, big stops feel like the Death Zone, and when the effort shows up, you’ll hear it — E.A.T. every time.
Game day means familiar faces, good food on the table, stories flying during commercials, and that shared feeling you only get when everyone in the room is locked into the same moment. It’s not about being loud for the sake of it — it’s about connection, pride, and enjoying the game together the way it’s meant to be.
🗓 Sunday, February 8, 2026
⏰ Kickoff is around 3:30 PM (Pacific Time) — come early to get settled and soak in the pregame energy.
If you’re a local senior and want to join us, you can connect with us at PeachTreeRetirement.com —
or just show up on February 8th and bring your Seahawks spirit.
That’s Watch Party Senior Style — Seahawks pride, shared energy, country-style fun, and a whole lot of heart. 💙💚🏈
