Events
 The Lopez Island Chamber of Commerce, in cooperation with San Juan County Parks, hosts the annual Tour De Lopez (typically in April). This ride is a non-competitive road tour with 10, 17 & 31 mile routes through the scenic landscape of Lopez. Participants are encouraged to consider making this a weekend getaway. There are several other events and activities to enjoy on the Island. Enjoy the scenic ferry ride from Anacortes to Lopez. The Washington State Ferries is offering free parking and a discounted fare for Tour De Lopez participants on the Thursday, Friday & Saturday of the event. The tour routes are marked with unique recycled bikes and include marked designated halfway points with snacks, water & restrooms available. The Port Stanley Schoolhouse is your first rest area and will feature an art show by the Lopez Artist Guild, open all weekend.
If you are thinking about coming to Lopez in the summer, make sure you come on the 4th of July. The firework show is spectacular, and said to be the best of the islands. A spectacle you will not regret watching, and before the firework show there is an annual parade, which is great for the whole family. |
