Olympic Peninsula Events Calendar
The Olympic Peninsula Events Calendar is a listing of nearly all local events, activities, and fairs and festivals. Here is where you'll find the fun happenings in Port Angeles, Sequim, Forks, Port Townsend, and farther afield on the rest of the Olympic Peninsula!
As events are scheduled, this page may also cover activities in the Olympic National Park and the rest of the Olympic Peninsula from Ocean Shores in the west of the Olympic Peninsula to Aberdeen and Hoquiam, and the Hood Canal in the east.
We will feature things do, places to go, and possibly even shopping/dining options that are fun and memorable. There will also be information about community outreaches, such as fundraisers and volunteer opportunities. Whether you're a visitor to our quaint town or a kind-hearted local, we're glad you found us!.
Where possible, locations below are linked to Google Maps.
Some of our listings may be longer reads. This is because Suzie Scribbles, our roving reporter, has visited the events and has left a review.
Some events may be available year around - this link will take you straight to that information!
Our events page is organized chronologically, so just click the month here on the list to find fun and interesting things to do. (Helpful hint: some events will be during 2 months, so browse the month beforehand to make sure you don't miss anything.)

Don’t let winter blues and aching joints get you down. The Shore Aquatic Center is open with heated pools to blow off cabin fever, work on those New Year’s Resolutions to exercise (the gyms are packed and nobody wants to be outside right now), or get a lovely hot soak in the Jacuzzi. You can get a membership (worth every penny) or just the occasional day pass. There are year round swim and fitness classes for everyone 1 – 100. There is a very shallow area for small children, and floaty life vests until the little ones learn to swim. They even have steaming hot showers once you’re done. Stop by to warm up, exercise, and de-stress.

Cristy, from Port Orchard, Wa, Says:
"I wanted you to know that I appreciate your book so much! I have a few books about hikes in the area but your book is unique. I love how you include maps, online resources, restaurants, places to stay, and on and on.
"Plus, your writing is professional yet personal. Our neighbors just moved to Washington and have been trying to explore the local area. I recommended this book to them. They bought it on the spot!
"Thank you for the time and effort you put into making a much needed book. I have lived here most of my life; with your book, I feel like I’m discovering where we live through a new lens. It's simply wonderful" (Cristy, Wa).
