June is a very busy month in Port Gamble with two recurring big festivals — Medieval Faire and the Civil War Reenactment — plus, new for Port Gamble, the Western Washington Quilt Shop Hop; and the Tearoom’s Daddy/Daughter Promise Tea.

Port Gamble goes medieval

Medieval Faire is June 5 and 6 — from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. Step back in time with jousting, jesting and merry-making sponsored by the Society for Creative Anachronisms. Come see the costumed squires, knights and their ladies while shopping for adornments and refreshments on the rolling green fields of Port Gamble.
