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.
