Welcome!

The first weekend in June on Saturday the community of Gig Harbor, WA comes together to celebrate a rich maritime heritage at Skansie Bros. Park and Jerisich Dock.   The weekend begins with the annual Gig Harbor Antique & Classic Yacht Festival  and Maritime Gig Festival with a main street parade and entertainment.

The Blessing of the Fleet occurs on Sunday.  This tradition blesses fisherman and boats embarking on another season of fishing via a flotilla.   It is combined with a memorial for those lost at sea. 

The Taste of Gig Harbor on Sunday provides a sample of culinary favorites from local restaurants for a small cost. Also provided for enjoyment are Croation Dancing, entertainment and maritime related activity booths.

All events are free to the public.
