The Blue Fairy has a reputation for perfection and she is perfectly sure that she has a perfect track record for successfully granted wishes. But Geppetto, Pinocchio’s father, is not so sure that his wish for a real son has been perfectly granted. In fact, he feels that the time he has spent with Pinocchio, the real boy, has been perfectly miserable. He asks the Blue Fairy to take Pinocchio back. Instead, The Blue Fairy takes Geppetto back through time to review Pinocchio’s adventures and misadventures. Their experiences with Stromboli, Professor Buonragazzo, the roustabouts on Pleasure Island, and being swallowed by a whale teach Geppetto that real boys and real fathers may not be perfect, but Geppetto and Pinocchio are perfect for each other.

This is an awesome event that you don’t want to miss. All are welcome free of charge to come enjoy some serious aerial action at the beach.

Back flips, barrel rolls, precision surf riding and moto surf racing are just some of what you can expect to see all weekend.
There will be food to feast on. Music will be playing and if you buy a few raffle tickets, you might just get some goodies to take home with you. We will have custom designed event t-shirts and sweatshirts as well as posters available at the main booth while supplies last. Bring your family a lawn chair and a camera and enjoy some free entertainment at the beach.
We ask everyone to respect the beach. All rules governed by the State Parks Dept. are still in effect during the event. Please pack it out if you pack it in. Help us to minimize the impact on the Grayland beach. Avoid soft beach areas with your vehicles as a tow can be very costly. Please park clear of the ribboned off area and leave room for cars to get through.
