“With the winter weather, it is a little quiet in the Harbor making it the perfect time for indoor activities,” said Matt Meszaros, Tourism Marketing Director for the Gig Harbor Chamber of Commerce. Here are a few of his suggestions:
Check out Open Mic Nights at Olalla Vineyard & Winery every Friday night at 6:30pm. This small, family-owned winery presents fine estate wines from grapes grown and nurtured right on the premises as well as grapes grown in Eastern Washington. It is also a popular event venue hosting weddings, dinners in the vineyard, live music concerts and corporate events while offering world-class wines and exceptional customer service. The estate boasts six acres of manicured property with a little over two acres of vineyard.
Love Jeopardy? Then maybe you want to check out Team Trivia Night at Finholm’s every Wednesday night at 6:30pm. Located in historic Gig Harbor, Finholm’s Market has been serving the community since forever as far as locals are concerned! The market, deli and tap room offers a variety of fresh and packaged food items, snacks, beverages, and staples such as bread, milk, eggs, and ice, plus an extensive offering of beer, wine, and cider. Finholm’s plays host to numerous recurring and special events including Brewer’s Night and Music Bingo.
According to Meszaros, “Every Wednesday is Bingo and Arcade night at Ocean5, a big indoor venue with conference space, a restaurant downstairs, 2 types of bowling, a two-story laser arena, and a modern arcade with more than 50 games.”
Ocean5 features a locally sourced, farm-to-fork menu filled with chef-driven twists on global classics. There are more than 25 local craft beers on tap, NW wines, and craft cocktails made with local and responsibly sourced spirits. All this fun waits under one roof with an over-arching goal of ocean conservancy at the heart of their values and passion.
Gig Harbor is an ideal destination for those looking for fun throughout the year. For more information on these events and others, visit https://www.visitgigharborwa.com/
