Summer is a special time in Elma. The sun sticks around a little longer, the air’s filled with the scent of barbecue and fresh-cut grass, and the community comes alive with events that remind us why we love calling this town home.
At The Refined Man in Elma, we’re not just here to give you the cleanest fades and sharpest beard trims — we’re part of the local fabric. That’s why we’re excited to spotlight some of our favorite summer events and festivals happening right here in Elma, WA.
So grab your calendar (and maybe schedule a haircut beforehand), and let’s check out what’s happening around town.
Grays Harbor County Fair – August 7–10, 2025
Elma Fairgrounds – 32 Elma McCleary Rd, Elma, WA
A summer staple for locals and visitors alike, the Grays Harbor County Fair is where Elma truly shines. With live music, carnival rides, livestock shows, delicious fair food, and even a demolition derby, there’s something for everyone.
Refined Man Tip: Come in for a fresh cut or beard cleanup before fair weekend — you’ll want to look sharp for the photos (and the date night!).
Elma Farmers Market – Every Saturday (May–September)
Corner of 3rd & Main, Downtown Elma
Looking for fresh produce, handmade crafts, or just a good cup of coffee on a Saturday morning? The Elma Farmers Market is your spot. It’s a great way to support local farmers, artisans, and food vendors — and catch up with neighbors in the process.
Pro move: Swing by after your Saturday appointment at The Refined Man and make a day of it.
Elma Auto Show – July 20, 2025
Downtown Elma
If you’re a fan of classic cars, trucks, and local pride, the Elma Auto Show is the place to be. This one-day event features vintage rides, hot rods, and custom builds lining the streets of downtown Elma.
Bonus: You never know when a Refined Man client’s car might be in the show — we’ve seen a few gems over the years.
Concerts in the Park – Select Fridays in July & August
Elma City Park
There’s nothing quite like live music under the stars. Grab a blanket, some snacks, and enjoy performances by local musicians and regional acts. It’s family-friendly, free, and full of small-town charm.
Insider Tip: A clean haircut and styled beard = summer concert confidence.
