This calendar is the place to find fun events happening throughout Grays Harbor County including Aberdeen, Hoquiam, Westport, Ocean Shores, Elma, Montesano and beyond.
Hoquiam’s Hot August Frights returns to the 7th Street Theatre for its 4th year.
Join hundreds of other horror fans for 12 straight hours of films and festivities in a historic theatre.
Noon: Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome – Filmed in 1947 and starring Boris Karloff, the film is billed as “Horror Man Traps Super-Sleuth”!
1:30 p.m.: Vampyr – One of the ORIGINAL Dracula films and shot in 1932 Germany, the movie was praised for its disorienting visual effects.
3:00 p.m.: House of Whipcord – The movie starts with the credit: “This film is dedicated to those who are disturbed by today’s ax moral codes and who eagerly await the return of corporal and capital punishment.” Do you really need more?
5:00 p.m.: Freaks – If you liked American Horror Story: Freakshow, see the likely inspiration! “One of us! One of us!”
6:30 p.m.: Creature from the Haunted Sea – Our “Dinner Movie” for fans of seafood and death! Sponsored by Seaweed in Ocean Shores.
8:00 p.m.: Body in the Web – Who needs Lavalantula when you have plane crash survivors trapped on a remote island infested with spiders. Obviously when bitten, they turn INTO spiders.
9:30 p.m.: How to Survive a Zombie Attack – Back by popular demand!
10:30 p.m.: The Tingler – With a name like “The Tingler”, you should already be on board. The fact that it stars Vincent Price is just icing on the cake!
Tickets are available at the door for individual movies, or for the whole day! $5 for any single movie, but for $15 you can come and go as you please throughout the day or let your body go numb from all 12 hours of horror with diehard fans.
As a special treat, after the movies there may be low light tours of the deepest, darkest holes of the historic theatre available by request.
Sponsored by Seaweed in Ocean Shores, Sgt. MF Brand’s BBQ, and the Historic 7th Street Theatre.

The 2019 Annual Garden Tour – Gardens, Sea, and Art – will be held Saturday, July 20, 2019, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm featuring gardens in Ocean Shores.
It is provided by the WSU Master Gardeners of Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties.
Tickets are $12 and more information is available by calling 360-482-2934 or visiting our web site at: https://extension.wsu.edu/graysharbor/event/2019-garden-tour/
On November 3, 1970 by special election and signed off by former Washington Secretary of State Ludlow Kramer, the community of Ocean Shores became a certified city. As such, 2020 marks the 50th anniversary of Ocean Shores’ cityhood.
Anniversary events will begin with a kick-off celebration recognizing the Welcome to Ocean Shores sign, erected 20 years ago at the city gates, as a significant historical feature.
Hosting this event, the Museum of the North Beach and Ocean Shores Coastal Interpretive Center with missions to preserve and share area history have joined forces to erect an informational plaque explaining that artist Judy McVay created the sign. The Mayor and City Council are expected to attend.
Judy McVay along with her brothers pioneered chainsaw carving as an artform, founded the chainsaw carving expo at the Puyallup Fair in the 1980’s, were instrumental in creating local carving events, and Judy was the first Washington woman to win a chainsaw carving competition. In addition to creating the Welcome to Ocean Shores sign, her work can be seen all along the Washington Coast, the Pacific Coast Scenic Byway (Hwy 101) and many other locations.
In Ocean Shores, Judy’s work can be viewed at Moby Dick’s on Point Brown Ave. where her “Sand Castle” sign hangs as well as inside the Convention Center vestibule where collaborative pieces created by Judy and her son, Boaz Backus can be found. Boaz along with brother, Steve founded the “sawdust” portion of Ocean Shores’ famed Sand and Sawdust Festival.
“The Welcome to Ocean Shores sign is a highly photographed, significant part of the experience when entering the city and should be recognized as such,” said Coastal Interpretive Center Board President, Nancy Eldridge. “The Museum of the North Beach and our friends at the Coastal Interpretive Center are proud to recognize this historical artifact,” added Museum of the North Beach Executive Director, Kelly Calhoun.
Sign dedication will commence at noon, Saturday January 18, 2020 at the city gates. A historical marker will be placed near the sign and this event will officially kick-off the year long Ocean Shores 50th anniversary celebration. Everyone is encouraged and invited to attend!
