This is going to be so much fun.

Gig Harbor is celebrating with small town nostalgic traditions!

We are kicking off the celebration with our Kid & Pet Parade, which will be led by our incredible local theater group Ghostlight Performing Arts ! Grab your bikes, scooters, wagons and pets, and come in your best red white and blue! Pets will receive a commemorative bandana to show off as well! 🇺🇸🐕‍🦺

Registration is only $10 per family/group!

Visit the link below for more info and registration for the parade AND our Pie-eating contests!

We are joining in the fun with Visit Gig Harbor and Visit Tacoma-Pierce County's regional glass medallion scavenger hunt!

Gig Harbor Police Department Chief of Police Tray Federici says GAME ON! ⚽👀

It feels like a great day for a stroll outside to us! But you won't find this Art of the Game medallion if you're going over 25 miles per hour…

If you speed by, you’ll miss the sound of the ocean and the view of the harbor.

Be safe while you snag it. Don't block traffic and stay on the sidewalk.
