Happening August 5 – 9 at the Grays Harbor Fair and Event Center, this year’s fair promises non-stop fan favorites throughout the week. For more information and a list of events, click here.

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. Some of the top riders in the world will be in Grayland throwing down some amazing aerial maneuvers. 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.

Each year the festival begins with the Rotary Club’s Famous Pancake Feed. During the all-day festival, enjoy food concessions, craft vendors, and other activities. The Elks Lodge Grand Parade begins at noon; the Lions Salmon Bake starts at 2:00 p.m.
The Festival concludes with Hoquiam’s renowned Loggers Show at 6:00 p.m. at the historic Olympic Stadium. Participants from throughout the Northwest participate in events at the evening logging show. The show ends with a fireworks display and offers great family entertainment…!

A wildly entertaining creative collaboration between TV’s “Opie Taylor” and Obi- Wan’s creator, “Willow” is the next big-screen offering at the historic 7th Street Theatre in downtown Hoquiam, on Friday and Saturday, September 18 and 19, at 7:30 pm.
The 1988 movie starts with a story by “Star Wars” godfather George Lucas about a baby destined to defeat an evil queen, and the rag-tag band of unlikely (and frequently hilarious) heroes — dwarf, swordsman, sorceress and bumbling brownies — who take up her quest. The tale comes to life through the directorial vision of Ron Howard, “Opie” from the 1960s “Andy Griffith Show” and eventual Best Director and Best Picture Oscar winner for “A Beautiful Mind” in 2002.
Val Kilmer and Joanne Whalley head the cast, with the dwarf Willow played by then 18-year-old Warwick Davis, who went on to appear in several “Harry Potter“ films as well as way too many “Leprechaun” horror flicks.
Doors open at 7:00 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. showings. Tickets will be available at the door. Advance tickets are available at Harbor Drug in Hoquiam, City Drug in Aberdeen and at online at brownpapertickets.com.
