Bellingham SeaFeast Celebrates Food, Fishing, Art and Music
WHEN: September 27 & 28, 2025
WHERE: Zuanich Point Park & Fisherman’s Pavilion, Bellingham, Washington
Love the ocean? Love seafood? Love music, art, and beer? So do we! Bellingham SeaFeast celebrates it all.
Bellingham’s identity lives in the water, the people, and the rich history that ebbs and flows around Bellingham Bay. The annual Bellingham SeaFeast festival showcases Bellingham's waterfront, maritime heritage, and its internationally-renowned fishing and seafood industry's unsurpassed culinary bounty. But while you're downing a local oyster or feasting on grilled wild salmon, don't overlook the festival's equally impressive visual and performing arts and musical entertainment.
The waterfront was and has remained life-giving for both the Coast Salish Peoples and the generations of commercial fishermen, boat builders, and fish processors that descended from the European settlers. Bellingham SeaFeast’s two-day festival celebrates this cultural heritage. It’s an excellent way to appreciate the best of what the Pacific Northwest has to offer.
Taking place across Bellingham's waterfront, the festival's seafood, art, music, games, and competitions will delight and satisfy visitors and locals of any age or interest.
General entrance to the festival (and many of the events) is FREE and open to all ages. Select events require tickets.

How Bellingham SeaFeast Began
SeaFeast showcases Bellingham and Whatcom County's maritime sector and its booming economic impact locally, regionally, and internationally. Bellingham SeaFeast was founded as a nonprofit festival after an organizing group won a seed grant from the City of Bellingham Tourism Commission. The City of Bellingham and the Port of Bellingham continue to collaborate on waterfront redevelopment to intentionally connect the city and its visitors with the bounty of the sea.
