Bellingham Symphony Orchestra: Sunset Flicks

The Bellingham Symphony Orchestra and Pickford Film Center have teamed up to activate downtown's Bay Street in a one-of-a-kind event combining outdoor cinema with live music. Small ensembles from the BSO will bring silent films to life—including Felix the Cat, Buster Keaton's comedy One Week, Georges Méliès' iconic A trip to the moon, and more. 

The free, family-friendly event will include a raffle and prizes, as well as food and drink options for purchase. Festivities start at 7:30pm, and films begin at sunset. 

Sunset Flicks kicks off a number of summer events that help launch the Bellingham Symphony Orchestra's year-long celebration as it marks 50 years of making music in Whatcom County. This event will combine enchanting classical music and unforgettable silent films, creating a rare experience in a fun and accessible setting. 

Bring your folding chair and join us for a beautiful sunset followed by five fun films accompanied by live music.

        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.
