Get ready to sip, saunter, groove & savor your way through Uptown!

In partnership with Uptown Gig Harbor, the Greater Gig Harbor Foundation presents the 2026 Summer Sips, Savor & Stroll on Saturday, July 18, from 3 PM – 8 PM — a summer‑soaked afternoon packed with local flavor, live music, and all the good vibes.

This year, Summer Sips hits the streets (literally!) with a curated Sip & Stroll experience featuring handcrafted wines, beers, ciders, spirits, meads, and NA mocktail sips from some of the 253’s most awesome makers. Wander leisurely from shop to shop, discovering new favorite sips and enjoying tasty nibbles along the way.

Let you senses run wild for a cause!

As you explore shops, enjoy savory bites and refreshing summer treats prepared by area restaurants, chefs, and caterers — and hosted by Uptown merchants. The afternoon is filled with great energy, live music at the Concert Pavilion, and the vibrant atmosphere that makes this event a summer-time fave.

Summer Sips, Savor & Stroll promises a fun‑filled afternoon of tasting, strolling, music, and celebration — all while supporting a great cause.
