Get ready to party like it’s 1776 at WECU’s Old Fashioned 4th of July Extravaganza! This year, we’re turning up the fun with 25 more vendors joining the party, bringing our total to over 100 vendors serving up tasty treats, unique crafts, and quirky finds. And for all you gear-heads out there, we’re revving up the excitement with 50 extra spots in our car show, accommodating up to 350 classic cars! 

Of course, the highlight of the day is our legendary parade, bursting with color, music, and community pride. But wait, there’s more! Get ready to groove at our brand-new beer garden and dance the day away with live music and DJ from 1:30-9pm.

There is no better place to view 4th of July fireworks than on the water. San Juan Cruises will be serving a delicious cracked crab and baked chicken dinner aboard their vessels. 

The boat will go out from 7:30 pm – 11:00 pm, cruising around Chuckanut and Bellingham Bays, before settling in near Squalicum Harbor for Bellingham’s big firework show.

Hotel Bellwether is excited to announce that its iconic annual summer music series Blues, Brews and BBQ will return this summer every Thursday from July 10th to August 21st, with a special Friday event on Fourth of July with the best seat in the house to view the firework show over Bellingham Bay.

Taking place on the Bellwether Waterfront Terrace, the series features live bands, fresh BBQ favorites off the grill, handcrafted cocktails and local brews.

Trackside is turning up the heat for the 4th of July by expanding our Beer Garden! We're taking over the Peter Paulson Stage adjacent grass area to give you more space to chill, adding another bar for quicker drink access, and setting you up with prime views for the epic fireworks show over Bellingham Bay. A big shoutout to our partners at Foundation Restoration for making this possible! 

Baby Cakes will be rocking the main stage from 8:30-10 PM, leading us right into the fireworks extravaganza. And don’t miss Ritual Records spinning some killer tunes from 6:30-8:30 PM on the Paulson Stage. We’re always working to make Trackside your go-to spot, and this 4th of July is going to be one for the books! Join us by the waterfront and experience the best place to see fireworks in Bellingham! 🍻

        We acknowledge that Whatcom County is located on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. They cared for the lands that included what we’d call the Puget Sound region, Vancouver Island and British Columbia since time immemorial. This gives us the great obligation and opportunity to learn how to care for our surrounding areas and all the natural and human resources we require to live. We express our deepest respect and gratitude for our indigenous neighbors, the Lummi Nation and Nooksack Tribe, for their enduring care and protection of our shared lands and waterways.
