Bellingham SeaFeast is back on September 26-27 and there will once again be a lot of great food, entertainment, and activities for the whole family.

SeaFeast is dedicated to building community around Bellingham’s working waterfront, maritime culture, sustainable seafood, and ocean conservation. The free, two-day flagship festival welcomes local residents, neighbors from across Puget Sound, and ocean-lovers from far and wide to celebrate our shared maritime heritage through engaging cultural experiences that foster connection and understanding.

Beyond the festival, Bellingham SeaFeast hosts year-round programs and events, including seafood cooking demonstrations, teaching ocean conservation in local schools, organizing community beach cleanups, and more. Through these efforts, they aim to strengthen community ties across the region and inspire stewardship of our natural resources to ensure they are here for generations to come.

The festival was founded ten years ago to highlight the vital role that the Bellingham waterfront plays in the local economy, culture, and environment.
