Kelpers Festival

Pacific Beach and Copalis celebrate their fishing heritage at the Kelpers Festival, a long-running community tradition on the north Washington coast. Enjoy a parade, local festivities, and the warm, salt-air charm of these small beach towns.

It's a heartfelt, down-home gathering honoring the culture of the coast. The quiet north beaches are a world away from the crowds — pair the festival with clam digging, long beach walks, and cozy oceanfront lodging for an authentic taste of the Washington coast.
