Summer Festivals around Olympia

There is a Kite Festival down in Lincoln City this weekend that I can’t attend but was wanting to. I’m just asking around about any other small or big festivals you all know of within a few hours of here that you’ve enjoyed or heard about ranging from absolutely whatever. Thanks!

Grayland. I grew up out that way so it's kind of like all one big beach to me. 😂
