Come celebrate the Sesquicentennial of the Pig War on San Juan Island. Park staff, volunteers and re-enactors from throughout the region will recreate the island lifestyle of the mid-19th century. The major highlight of the weekend will be a visit to Garrison Bay by the tall ships Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain from Gray’s Harbor Historical Seaport. There will also be black powder demonstrations, cast iron cooking contests, fife and drum music, maritime exhibits, pioneer fashion and more! On Saturday there will be the Pig War commemoration ceremony at 2 p.m. and the Candlelight Ball, an evening of dancing and refreshments from 8 to 10 p.m.
