Getaway: family-friendly Hood Canal ShrimpFest (70 mi. W)

The Brinnon ShrimpFest is a Memorial Day weekend family festival celebrating Hood Canal Spot Shrimp and other local seafood. It lures hungry shrimpers from all over the Northwest to fish Hood Canal’s rich waters, and festival goers to enjoy the festival activities and local food. There are activities for all ages, individuals, and families including rides, activities, crafts, food booths and a beer garden. The Hood Canal tides are usually low enough during this weekend for easy harvest of clams and oysters on the public beaches near the festival, (license required) and the weather is traditionally good in Brinnon on Memorial Day weekend. This is a great family fun event! Gate fee $5 per day. Kids under 12 FREE with paying parent. Active Military and Veterans Free (with ID).
