Join us for an unforgettable waterfront celebration during the 2026 Gig Harbor Maritime Festival at gather gig harbor — where community, creativity, and childhood literacy come together for an extraordinary cause.
✨ BOOKS, BITES & BIG HAIR ✨
A Dolly-inspired maritime festival fundraiser benefiting Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and presented by gather gig harbor for Rotary Club of Gig Harbor.
On Saturday, June 6th, gather gig harbor at 3126 Harborview Drive will transform into a vibrant VIP waterfront experience filled with music, books, entertainment, delicious bites, and dazzling Dolly-inspired fun — all while helping raise funds to keep books in the hands of local children.
📚 Every ticket purchased helps support Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library and the mission to provide free books to children in our community. With over 65,000 Washington children at risk of going without books, this event is about more than celebration — it’s about investing in the future of our kids, one book at a time.

* VIP front-row festival seating
* Reserved lounge seating
* Access to the cozy VIP tent retreat
* Signature cocktails & mocktails
* Delicious food from Harbor Bites & Boards

🎟️ Ticket Options:
* Adults: $100
