Gig Harbor Art’s Festival and More

 

 

This weekend for those who are around in this area Gig Harbor is having an Art’s Festival. It begins at 10 am on Sunday after having it on Saturday. You can find all types of art from hand painting to photographs. I have an old schoolmate Polli has a booth with mosaic tile and there is jewelry as well.

On Saturday people of all ages were able to do chalk art on the waterfront. Each participant has a spot where they can do their drawing on the walkway. There was a prize for each age bracket. I saw some wonderful drawings Saturday morning.  This has been going on in the middle of July in Gig Harbor for many years.

During the summer Skansie Park in downtown has music concerts every Tuesday night. I have seen people putting out chairs early as 6 am. Friday night’s they have movies going on as well. This is just some of the things going on in the community of Gig Harbor.

What is great around Western Washington is you can find lots to do in any small town like Gig Harbor all the way to the big city of Seattle. Not only you can enjoy great events the weather is usually pretty nice. Even a summer like this one where it is cloudy in the morning the chance of rain is very little. Also another thing here our weather is not as hot as in so many other parts of the country. Most of the time the temperatures is the seventies and eighties; not often does the temperatures go into the nineties unless for maybe a couple days.

Another thing around here is if you are visiting from out of state or country you can either rent a car really easily or take other transportation. For example here in Gig Harbor you can get around by trolley during the summer and the cost is pretty inexpensive. Actually can get around Gig Harbor for only $1 all day long; so you can walk where you can and then you can take the trolley.

Western Washington is not only a great place to live it is a really good place to vacation. Not only are there hotels and motels you can stay at but there are bed and breakfast locations you can stay at as well. Come and enjoy this place sometime. Here in Gig Harbor let them know that Herb sent you. Continue enjoying your summer wherever you visit.
