When you first enter the park you're greeted by a row of hand-built, historical buildings made by Whatcom County's earliest settlers and relocated to (what would eventually become) Pioneer Park. If you go on a day that some of the houses are open, for a small donation you can take a tour hosted by volunteers who know pretty much everything about the history of Ferndale and the county! The tour houses are set up with relics from the past - it's so interesting to see how the early settlers lived. Past the houses are open spaces where concerts are held, and the iconic barn which is the home of weddings, dances, and beer gardens throughout the summer. It's always fun to attend one of Pioneer Park's signature events, the Old Settlers Festival, where you are greeted with a ribbon denoting how long you've lived in these here parts, and then you get to enjoy the various vendors (and of course food!) before embarking to the barn where you will pretty much run into everyone you've ever known! Pioneer Park is also home to the beautiful and amazing Star Park, a children's playground build entirely by community volunteers. So now there are fun things for the little ones to do here, too!

Every 3rd Friday through summer (and a Holiday Market in December) Downtown Bellingham Partnership…read moresponsors these unique night markets. Commercial street is blocked off, and you are treated to a family- friendly and FREE evening with something for everyone. The market kicks off at 7:00pm with entertainment and ends at 11:00pm with dancing in the streets. The entertainment, vendors and food trucks are different each month so you get to experience varied local artists, musicians, dancers and food. I love the diversity of Bellingham! The bars on the street open their doors and patios, and...instant beer garden with no hassles or special permits. The mood is festive and carefree. Arrive early and take advantage of FREE PARKING at the Parkade, then sprint up the stairs and the market is right there. I loved the entertainment, strolling the vendors, people watching on a beautiful summer evening. You really feel a sense of community on nights like this.

When we…read morementioned once how much he liked it, he told us they had a social membership in addition to the golf memberships (I don't golf). Looked into it and got one, now there is a long waiting list. The restaurants and service are always excellent and are a great value. The prime rib is the best value in town in my opinion. Definitely have no plans to give up our membership.

We attended a birthday party tonight at this cute little waterfront venue and it was the perfect…read morespot for the occasion! The clubhouse is one long room with a full kitchen at one end and plenty of tables and chairs to seat a crowd. There are large windows overlooking the marina, and the entire place has a nautical feel. It's not a large space, but there were over 50 people at the party and it didn't feel crowded at all. The rental fee is quite reasonable, especially considering you can bring your own food and drinks. And yes, there is plenty of free parking. I'm already formulating a plan in my head to host a Yelp event here!

First time checking out this festival. I enjoyed the different variety of foods. There was a…read moreBlack forest mushroom stand where they sell Alder tree logs for $45 inoculated with chestnut mushroom spores. The Lummi Nation island salmon lunch plate was $18 but it was wild salmon, pasta, bread and beans + water bottle. I like how they air grilled/smoked the fish. That line was the longest. Trident also had a stall where they were giving away shirts, key chains, fish oil, chocolate swag. The boat building offered a demo on sea urchins which i missed out on. They also had a Whatcom Maritime museum station where kids can build wooden boats. Enjoy coming to this place eventhough a bit far for us. It was nice to be by the water and free parking.

Parking at that time was a bit challenging but we manage to find a free parking lot close by and walk toward the festival. Once there we saw tons of vendors with all kind of marine info and education. My girls (ages 9 & 11) found the "Passport" section where the girls get their passport stamp as they go thru and learn about each booth. I find myself learning a few things too. Food court was loaded with an abundance of sea and non-sea food options. Nice that most if not all took credit cards. My meal pick was Fish and Chips from Fork & Fin food truck. A huge portion for $12( definitely shareable.) Girls got a huge hotdog ($5) from a hotdog stand. For dessert we grab some ice cream($2) next door to the hotdog stand. Only wish there was a water station so we could re-fill our water bottles instead of having to buy the plastic water bottle. Maybe next year a water conservation vendor would sponsor that to keep us water drinker from contributing to the plastic landfill and from the ocean. We headed to the main stage with all our food goodies to eat while enjoying some live music. Definitely a fun family festival for the whole family.

Named after a legendary character and set in Bham's most historic zone, this event oozes history and charm and is a great way to spend the afternoon. We especially enjoyed the chili cookoff. You pay for entry and try samples from various restaurants. At the end you vote on your fave chili and get an entire bowl of it to enjoy. I've never left hungry! Don't forget to keep an eye out for the "ladies of Fairhaven" who roam about in their beautiful and alluring period costumes to remind us all of what else used to be popular in town. These gorgeous gals are a ton of fun - if you see them say hi, they have great stories to tell! Ride your bike to this one because parking can be a hassle, especially if the weather's good.
