| Mountlake Terrace has a very active community and civic-minded organizations that sponsor and/or coordinate various programs and events with the city.
 Friends of the Arts, a non-profit organization, coordinates with the city’s Arts Advisory Commission to sponsor the annual Arts of the Terrace Juried Art Show each fall. The event, held in the Mountlake Terrace Library, 23300 58th Avenue West, attracts artists from around the greater Puget Sound region. Categories include photography, calligraphy, 3-dimensional, paintings, prints, drawings, and miniatures. For more information, please contact Judy Ryan arts@ci.mlt.wa.us.
 The Friends of the Mountlake Terrace Library, a non-profit volunteer organization, brings together involved, caring people who know that a community with a first rate library is a better place in which to live. The Friends support and promote literacy, education, and reading for all ages. They provide supplies and programs that fall outside of the library budget.

 Tour de Terrace is a Seafair-sanctioned, summer festival for Mountlake Terrace and neighboring communities sponsored by the Nile Shrine Center. Created to generate community pride and spirit, this annual festival invites families, businesses and visitors to celebrate in this family oriented, fun-filled festival.
 The Nile Shrine Center Shurtah Unit and the city’s police, public works, recreation/parks departments and Snohomish County Fire District 1, host the annual Tree Lighting Ceremony at Evergreen Playfield on the first Friday evening in December. Volunteers serve cocoa and cookies, while children carol. The “tree,” seen from miles around, is constructed of over 1800 LED lights on top of the city’s water tower. The tree lighting features a visit from Santa, who arrives on a fire truck.
