LIGHTPOST BANNERS PROGRAM
Exciting news for 2025! The Gig Harbor Waterfront Alliance is launching a brand-new Lightpost Banner Program to enhance the beauty of our historic waterfront district year-round. Thanks to the generous sponsorship of the Morning Rotary Club of Gig Harbor, up to 40 stunning banners will be installed along Harborview Drive, half of them debuting alongside the beloved flower baskets in the spring. These banners will be placed in areas where flower baskets haven’t traditionally worked—whether due to shade, structural or watering challenges—ensuring our streetscape remains vibrant and welcoming.
We're collaborating with a local artist and designer to create four unique banner designs that celebrate Gig Harbor’s rich maritime heritage and charming waterfront. The long-term vision is to expand the program so that when flower baskets come down for the season, these beautiful banners will continue to add color and character to our streets. Banners are a simple yet impactful way to enhance a community, creating a sense of place and pride while welcoming visitors and residents alike. Huge thanks to the Morning Rotary Club of Gig Harbor for making this exciting new project possible and to Steve Hammond for the amazing illustrations.
