Bellingham, WA Festivals and Celebrations

The City of Subdued Excitement

For a small community, we sure are festive! Bellingham hosts many festivals in diverse areas as music festivals, arts and crafts, sand sculptures. After being included in many popular publications naming Bellingham being such a great place to live, work and play, I believe that all our celebrations are in order! It also plays a major roll in bringing the community close.

I recommend if you are planning a visit to Bellingham, WA, you may want to try planning your itinerary around one of these Bellingham, WA festivals. And, if you are a local and haven't attended any of these celebrations, don't miss out on any more! Do your best to attend a few every year.
