Percival landing boardwalk springs to life every on Mother's Day weekend, many people come to enjoy the fair with friends and family, slow down, and breath in the fresh salt air while wandering the boardwalk.
People have the opportunity to enjoy a variety of wooden boats, young and old that line the docks, hear stories from the captains about building, rebuilding, caring for, living aboard, and sometimes some funny adventures these amazing boats have survived.
Our fair also offers people a one-of-a-kind waterfront opportunity to shop local!
As people enjoy the day with family and friends, they will discover a large variety of products made by local by artists some who may even be creating new masterpieces on site at the fair.
After enjoying all the boats and artist vendors they can swing over to the park and grab some food from one of our amazing food vendors. The park fills up with people eating great food and enjoying live local music. The Olympia Wooden Boat fair never disappoints, we look forward to seeing both new and old faces this coming May 2025!

Our Inspiration
Buttercup LemonDrop was inspired by the magic and whimsical play style of our little girl. She is an animal lover through and through. And has inspired many of the animal dolls in our collection! Seeing her eyes light up with each new animal is the icing on the cake.
Our goal here at Buttercup Lemondrop is to spread that same joy and happiness to everyone through the magical world of snuggles and pretend play.
