Herron Island Art Festival
Jul

Herron Island Art Festival

The Herron Island Art Festival features local artists in a beautiful island setting. To get to the island, you will drive about a half hour west of Gig Harbor to Lakebay, and then take a small private ferry to the island. You’ll need a guest pass to get on the island, so make sure to message me if you plan to attend. You can drive onto the ferry for $20 for car and driver plus $3 for each additional passenger. Or you can walk onto the ferry for $3 per person. From the ferry, it’s a 3 minute drive or 15 minute walk to Goodpastor Park, where the event will be held.

Ferry address: 20801 Isted Rd NW, Lakebay, WA 98349

Park address: 22416 Maple Dr NW, Lakebay, WA 98349

Ferry schedule: http://www.herronisland.org/home/sked/ferry.html (The ML column indicates the times that the ferry leaves the mainland.)

“The Pink Gorilla” Food Truck will be stationed by the Community Center offering a wide variety of food and drinks.

There are three public parks, including Goodpastor, where you are almost certain to encounter the friendly island deer. The other two parks are public beaches, where you can enjoy your picnic or do some beachcombing. You’re likely to see seals, and perhaps porpoises, while you’re there.
