What's Bellingham SeaFeast All About?
Bellingham SeaFeast is a FREE two-day celebration on the shores of Squalicum Harbor dedicated to honoring our rich maritime culture, showcasing our thriving working waterfront, and celebrating the vitality of our commercial fishing and seafood industries. Festival hours are 10am-5pm both days.
Join us as we transform Bellingham's waterfront into a seafood and maritime lover's paradise, where you can indulge in the diverse culinary bounty that characterizes our corner of the Pacific Northwest. While admission to the festival is free, we also offer special ticketed experiences including scenic boat cruises, behind-the-scenes maritime industry tours, hands-on creative workshops, and exclusive VIP experiences to enhance your SeaFeast adventure.
