Anchored Here

Gig Harbor has a way of bringing people together.

Anchored Here is your opportunity to be part of it—and to make a meaningful investment in the small businesses and historic character that define our home. Join us for an evening on the waterfront with good people, great conversation, and a shared commitment to the harbor we love.

Limited Capacity: Secure your spot among the 140 guests joining us for this historic night.

An Exclusive Culinary Preview This year, we are thrilled to offer an exclusive preview of The Midway. Be among the first to experience the craft of Trish and Nick through a curated spread of Artisan Harbor Provisions. This hand-crafted menu features slow-fermented sourdough focaccia, heritage grain harvests, and seasonal coastal delights—a sophisticated sneak peek at the future of another waterfront dining experience.

High-Value Heritage Raffles Our raffle is designed around celebrating our heritage and "money can’t buy" experiences that anchor you to the history and culture of the harbor:

• The 100th Anniversary Charter: A private excursion aboard the Veteran, the iconic 1926 heritage purse seiner, celebrating its centennial year.

• The Ultimate Waterfront Staycation: Rediscover home with a 2-night stay at the Maritime Inn, dinner at Brix 25 and more.

• Summer Sounds VIP Experience: Reserved seating for you and your guests at a Tuesday night concert of your choice this summer.

• Interactive Collaborative Art: Watch master artists from Ebb Tide Gallery live-paint an Anchored Here inspired scene with nods to the familiar iconography that connect us. You’ll even be invited to add your own brushstroke before the finished piece is raffled to one lucky winner.

About the Evening Come for the waterfront. Stay for the connection. This is a night designed to feel welcoming, intentional, and atmospheric.

• Sommelier Sampling: Meet Nelly of Mvinyo Winery at her "mini-bar" for a sampling of her signature labels.

• Acoustic Sunsets: Enjoy pre-programming sets by local favorite Lakin and then enjoy the great energy and dancing with the charismatic Stevenson Brooks

• Capture the Connection: Step up to the Boomerang Photo Booth to anchor your favorite memories, capture your best "nautical nod," and share the evening in style. With a curated aesthetic and instant digital keepsakes, it’s a modern way to keep your night on the harbor forever.

• Message in a Bottle: Immerse yourself in our story with an interactive tablescape depicting the history of our waterfront over the last century.

Why It Matters Gig Harbor doesn’t stay special on its own; it’s shaped by the people who show up for it. Every ticket and donation helps fund the Gig Harbor Waterfront Alliance Small Business Grant Program, keeping our district thriving for the next generation.
