  • We anticipate 15,000+ attendees at our 9th annual event at Fisherman’s Pavilion, Squalicum Boathouse & Zuanich Point Park on the shores of Bellingham, Washington. Vendors must be prepared for this volume of attendees in both goods or services provided and petty cash. In all cases, maritime-inspired goods or services are preferred.

  • Products don’t have to fit a nautical theme, but preference is given to vendors who have at least some nautical themed items.

  • The layout of the Festival is a moving puzzle. If you have been coming for years, it’s likely you will have the same spot; however, there are many logistics and factors in play, and sometimes we have to move things around to fit everyone in. Preference is given to sponsors.

  • You will be notified of your location in the first week of September, along with directions, maps, and final notices for the 2025 Festival.

Towards Zero Waste

Bellingham SeaFeast is a “Towards Zero Waste” (TZW) Event in partnership with Sustainable Connections, meaning we strive to send 0% of event supplies to landfills during and following the event. Vendors may not distribute single-use plastics of any kind with the purchases (including serving utensils and take-away bags). Learn more about this policy>
