Seasonal activities planned on Peninsula

Final weekend for Wintertide Makers’ Market

This is it: the final weekend for the Wintertide Makers’ Market, a locally focused emporium at the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center.

Artists and craftspeople from across the North Olympic Peninsula have laid out their creations in the nonprofit gallery at 1203 E. Lauridsen Blvd., Port Angeles, where visitors also can take a walk through the adjacent Webster’s Woods.

The marketplace is open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, with warm drinks and heated seating in the courtyard from 5 till 8 that evening. Sunday is the last day, with hours from 11 to 5. Admission is free, just as it is to Webster’s Woods, where more art awaits: the Light Art Experience. This exhibition among the trees includes sculptural creations by nine artists from around the Northwest, all illuminated nightly from 4 p.m. till 8 p.m.

Here’s a cross-section of other seasonal entertainment and art on the Peninsula this weekend.

One of a Kind Gallery will host a Pop-up Holiday Market all weekend on the first floor of the Port Angeles Wharf, 115 E. Railroad Ave.

The market offers free gift wrapping for all purchases, holiday treats and local artists in house with their original work and limited-edition prints and apparel.

“A Christmas Carol”: A Live Radio Play is on the main stage at Olympic Theatre Arts, 414 N. Sequim Ave., Sequim, through Sunday.

This adaptation, set in a 1940s radio station, unfolds at 7:30 p.m. tonight and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday, with tickets ranging from $12 to $18.

Tonight from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., singer-songwriters Aimée Ringle and Alexa Sunshine Rose will play; on Saturday, the Chuck Easton Quartet will play holiday jazz from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday brings singer-guitarist Jack Dwyer from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

A Hidden History tour through downtown Port Townsend starts at 1 p.m. Saturday from the Haller Fountain at Taylor and Washington streets.

This is the last such tour of 2021, and, as ever, it’s free courtesy of the Main Street Program.
