Winter Rendezvous IV – Historic Downtown Poulsbo

Save the date, folks! Saturday, Feb 11th is a day of fun filled craziness as Chip Hanauer (famous hyrdo Champ, and all around nice guy) brings Winter Rendezvous to town for it’s fourth year (hence, the title)! This has become a super fun time to get together with friends, and kick off a year of fun! This will be the only common thread in this year’s party. We promise ABSOLUTELY NOTHING will make much sense, but it sure will be fun!

Activities (free to play) during the day include our highly competitive Glöggfest Competition, and you get to be the judge (as long as you are over 21 years old, of course). Our Poker Run has you running into 7 downtown shops to get your best hand, or worst hand. Winners get large prizes! Our galleries are featuring a fun Artwalk, that runs from 5pm to 8pm.

And new this year, a Treasure Hunt of galactic stature, and a chance to win treasures for yourself! And are you ready to be done with 2016? We are working on an Effigy Burning Party, just for you!

Please note: these activities will have different scheduled times! This is your information source for activity times and details.

In classic galactic style, the Sons of Norway upstairs hall converts to the Tattoine Cantina. A festive, warm place for weary space travellers to enjoy beverages, play games, meet up with friends…and then head back into the outer Rim Trade Route (shops) for more fun! Stay tuned for links for purchasing your galactic credits for this cantina fun!

Although Saturday (11th)is the big day, Friday night (10th) will have live music and entertainment events, and on Sunday morning (12th), the Sons of Norway will be featuring a special Pancake Breakfast. Great way to round out the weekend, or bring your sweety to start the Valentine’s festivities. You decide!

Festivities start at 11am, and end around 8pm (depending on the Effigy bonfire). BUT THE FUN WONT BE OVER!. Your favorite downtown restaurant or bar will be featuring fun dining specials and live music.

If you would like to join the fun by boat, our VIP ticket includes FREE moorage (tickets are PER PERSON), get all of the info you need at

Winter Rendezvous IV

**Tattooine Cantina – entry and 3 Galactic Credits for $10 – AVAILABLE FOR PREPURCHASE 12-1-16

One of the funnest Winter festivals around, this is the 4th year for Winter Rendezvous (hence, “may the Fourth be with you”) and downtown is having fun with it! We might be visited by Rebel Legion or Imperial Forces, but have no fear..the Vikings are on hand to defend the planet (aka downtown).

Hosted by famed Hydro Champion Chip Hanauer, and sponsored by Boat Insurance Agency, the downtown shops are planning all kinds of fun!
Free events throughout the shops ( Outer Rim Trade Route) on Saturday will include a Gloggfest Competition, Poker Run, Scavenger Hunt, and a special Winter Rendezvous Artwalk. And for those looking to purge 2016, a classic Viking style Effigy Burning Bonfire will be available, details tbd!

The Sons of Norway will become the Tattooine Cantina, a place for weary space travelers to enjoy beers and ciders locally made, and the wines and spirits from Menage a Trois, purchased with “Galaxy Credits”. Indoor games, music and more will entertain you while you recharge your engines.

Friday and Saturday night of the weekend will feature live music in multiple venues.

This event is hosted by famed Hydro Champion Chip Hanauer, and brought to you by the Historic Downtown Poulsbo Assoc., Boat Insurance Agency, NW Yachting Magazine, Port of Poulsbo, Menage a Trois Vodka, Elliott Bay Marina, Monkeyfist, CSR Marine, Visit Kitsap Peninsula and Sound Publishing.
