Celebrate Community at Blaine’s Spring Block Party

Spring is here, and Blaine-Birch Bay Park and Recreation District #2 invites the community to celebrate the season at Blaine’s Spring Block Party on Saturday, May 17, 2025 in Downtown Blaine, centered around Third and H Streets. This all-day, family-friendly event is packed with live music, vibrant vendor booths, delicious food, and hands-on fun for all ages.

The Kids Zone (10 a.m. – 2 p.m.) will offer free activities for children, including a community-wide scavenger hunt with a prize generously sponsored by Hills Chevron, engaging games with prizes, and two storytime sessions hosted by the Blaine Public Library (10:30 a.m. & 12:30 p.m.). 

Starting at 1 p.m., the Beer Garden (located next to Bordertown Pizza) opens with an exciting live music lineup featuring:

• Gladstone – Acoustic set (1:00 p.m.) 

• Paper Heart – 90s Grunge Covers (2:30 p.m.) 

• SoundStation – Classic Rock Hits (4:00 p.m.)

Attendees can explore the Street Fair (10 a.m. – 5 p.m.), which features over 60 vendors showcasing handcrafted goods, local art, tarot readings, kids’ toys, clothing, bath and body products, craft kits, face painting, and more. It is a perfect opportunity to support local businesses and discover unique treasures made right here in our community.   

Hungry? Enjoy a variety of food and drink options, including pizza, hotdogs, coffee, slushies, and specialty drinks from local vendors and food trucks. 

“This event is all about bringing the community together,” said Olea Mills, Event Coordinator with BBBPRD2. “Whether you’re here to shop, dance, eat, or let the kids play—there’s something for everyone.”

Admission is free and all are welcome. For more details, visit bbbparkandrec.org.


The Blaine – Birch Bay Park and Recreation District 2’s mission is to provide recreational opportunities, acquire and maintain sites that enhance our quality of life, and preserve the natural and recreational resources of the district.  

        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.
