Annual Events

Each year our members organize a handful of community events. Learn more about our annual events below. Additionally, local Bay Street businesses host several events throughout the year, visit our community calendar of events to learn more.

Ladies Night Out

This one’s just for the ladies! Twice a year, in May + October, we host an epic night out for the gals.

Mosquito Fleet FEST {new!}

A brand new event in 2024 to celebrate the origin of our famous vintage steamboats, the Mosquito Fleet, that ferried passengers and wares from one PNW town to another in the early 1900s.

Senior Week

Seniors are released from school a week earlier than their lower classmen for ‘Senior Week’ (the week leading up to graduation day) in South Kitsap. Bay Street businesses take this week to celebrate the next wave of high school graduates launching into adulthood with specials, freebies, prizes, and more. The culmination of Senior Week is a senior parade, organized by families of grads, along Bay Street.

Night Market {June, July, Aug, Sept}

One Saturday evening per month in the summer (June-Sept) the Port Orchard waterfront plays host to an outdoor market featuring over 50 local artisans, food trucks, family fun, and more!

Sasquatch Festival {new}

Brand new and coming in the fall of 2024. We’re so crazy about Sasquatches in the PNW that we built an entire event around the best hide-and-seeker to ever live!

Boo Bash

The Saturday before Halloween is designated as our annual Boo Bash event! Store owners and community members decorate Bay Street and create fun environments for kids and families to trick or treat safely.

Hometown Christmas

While we’ve always celebrated the ‘Holidays on the Bay’, 2024 is bringing brand new traditions as our members combine efforts with the city and other stakeholders to produce an all-day holiday celebration for the whole family.
