Building on a 122-year-old tradition, the Sequim Irrigation Festival’s Grand Finale Weekend will commence Thursday and continue through the weekend.

Consistent with this year’s theme of “122 Skies of Blue,” the Grand Finale begins with a historical walking tour of downtown, followed by the carnival and the Sequim High School operetta “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.” Carnival wristbands are on sale now for unlimited rides at Sound Community Bank, KeyBank (Sequim/Port Angeles), Dungeness Kids Co., and the Visitor Information Center for $20 through May 11 and $25 at the event.

By Friday and Saturday, the festival is in full swing with events ranging from a strongman contest, golf tournament, fun run, car show, logging show and tractor pull to the Grand Parade.

This year’s Grand Parade beginning at noon Saturday is full with 105 entries and honors Grand Marshal Vern Fosket, Grand Pioneer Beverly Cays Hendrickson, Grand Pioneer Stephen Olts, Honorary Pioneer Norma Govan Knapman Topness and Honorary Pioneer Ron Parrish. Be sure to wave to this year’s royalty: Queen Karla Najera, Princess Alison Cobb, Princess Abby Norman and Princess Emily Straling on their aero-inspired float.

Just before the parade, festival goers can enjoy a lineup of classic cars and motorcycles as they cruise down Washington Street.

The 29th annual Logging Show is sure to entertain with scheduled competitions, including chainsaw carving, axe throwing, pole falling and hand bucking, among others. The Truck and Tractor Pull coincide with the logging show, as well as the annual Strongman Showdown where international competitors participate in axle lift, arm over arm truck pull, log press, tire flip, stone stack, dead lift and car lift.
