4th of July Pig War Picnic

The Pig War Picnic is back for 2026! After relocating to the County Fairgrounds on Argyle Avenue, the event exceeded all expectations in size and attendance. To enhance the experience for 2026, we’re excited to announce expanded food offerings, and additional activities for a full afternoon of family fun. 

What’s New for 2026:
• Improved Layout: Redesigned fairgrounds to reduce lines and wait times.
• Revised Hours: Now from 11:30 AM to 4:00 PM • Live Music: Live Performance by Wheelie Fargo, a popular country and rock band
• Family Favorites: 3 legged races, sack races, egg toss, and a watermelon eating contest.
• Expanded Food & Beer Garden: More vendors, more variety, and increased seating.
• Fireworks: Stick around for the evening fireworks to end the day.

Proceeds benefit the families of Friday Harbor. In 2025, $22,000 in scholarships was awarded to 11 graduating seniors.

Please be sure to visit the Friends of the Library at the County Fairgrounds for their annual Cakewalk fundraiser from 11:30 am until the end of the picnic, or until they run out of cakes.
