Description
The highly anticipated return of Showcase Grays Harbor will tour the South Beach area! This exciting day-long event will take place on Friday, September 15, 2023. First launched in 2000, Showcase Grays Harbor was created to offer residents a behind-the-scenes look at various businesses and sites throughout the County that are otherwise inaccessible to community members.
Participants begin by boarding Grays Harbor Transit buses at the Bishop Center for the Performing Arts at Grays Harbor College before driving to the coast. Upon arrival, Showcase attendees will take part in the following agenda:
- Tour the Westport Marina with insider knowledge from the Port of Grays Harbor
- Take part in the South Beach Historical Society's Walk and Talks and learn the vibrant history and heritage of the area
- Indulge in samplings of locally caught seafood provided by WEfish and Westport’s Fresh Catch
- Have free time to explore the many local business on the Westport Marina
- Hear exclusive commercial fishing culture and industry presentations as well as presentations from Westport Golf Links representatives and Experience Westport
- Enjoy a delicious catered lunch by Aloha Alabama at the Westport VFW with fellow Showcase attendees
- Step inside the operations of Ocean Companies for a first-hand look at the fishing industry in Westport - IMPORTANT: in order to enter the Ocean Companies' facilities, guests must have on closed-toe shoes, long sleeves and long pants. Please plan accordingly!
