Pier Into the Night and Christmas Tree Lighting

Calendar/Event Details

Join us for an underwater adventure where you stay dry (or at least not salty) on the dock as our divers team up with an underwater ROV to live stream exactly what they encounter below the surface. Staff biologists and trained volunteers will identify the sea life that appears on the silver screen and share information about the incredible life that calls the Salish Sea home. Animals we have encountered at past events include: Feather-duster tube worms; sculpin, and gunnels; red rock, kelp and graceful crabs; various nudibranch species; giant Pacific octopus, and much more. Each show is one of a kind, so come on down to the dock and see what we find and learn more about what you can do to protect the Puget Sound.

Pier Into the Night takes place on public docks in Downtown Gig Harbor on the first Saturday of the month from October thorough March and run approximately one hour. Check our events for location and then look for the blue Harbor WildWatch tent and screen on the dock. Typically touch tanks with some popular marine life will be set up 15 minutes prior to each scheduled start time (And December start time will be flexible around the timing of the tree lighting). Pier Into the Night is FREE with no RSVP required - there is a donation jar or you can Venmo Harbor WildWatch. We encourage folks to bring their own chair, lots of layers, and warm beverages.
