Father’s Day Activities in Bellingham and Whatcom County

By Annette / June 19, 2020

Sunday, June 21, 2020 is the day to honor Dad. As Whatcom County is in Phase 2 of Washington State’s re-opening plan, it is a bit more of a challenge to find activities to share. Here are some ideas. Please wear a mask in public and remember to social distance.


Father’s Day Car Show at Bellewood Farms

This annual tradition at Bellewood Farms in Lynden has been transformed into a classic car cruise. Approximately 25-30 classic cars, hot rods and pickups will participate in the Taking It to the Streets cruise through Lynden, Nooksack and Everson.

From 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The cars will go through the parking lots of Christian Health Care Center and Lynden Manor in Lynden at approximately 10:30 a.m. They then will head through Nooksack and Everson before reaching Silverado Memory Care in Bellingham at approximately 11:30 a.m. and Spring Creek Bonaventure at noon.

Meanwhile, Bellewood Farms & Distillery, at 6140 Guide Meridian, will open its café and offer bakery goodies, hamburgers, pulled pork sandwiches and fish and chips from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For more information, call (360) 318-7720 or visit www.bellewoodfarms.com.

Dine on the patio at Hotel Bellwether

The Lighthouse Grill at Hotel Bellwether is honoring fathers all weekend long with a special of garlic & herb roasted prime rib served with garlic sauteed string beans and rosemary, shallot mashed potatoes. This special will be offered in a 12oz. and “dad sized!” – a 14oz. cut. The ‘Dad’s Drink’ special of the weekend is the Vieux Carre – a delicious combination of rye whisky, cognac, sweet vermouth, two types of bitters, a dash of benedictine liqueur, all stirred and garnished with a cherry.

The Lighthouse Grill has large, open windows overlooking Bellingham Bay, allowing a welcoming breeze off of the water. The indoor dining area is newly laid out for social distancing, and the outdoor patio and waterfront terrace are also for dining.

Take a Hike

Luckily our local trails are open – and after all that food, a hike, walk or stroll may be just the ticket for Dad. Here’s a link to our full hiking page. Enjoy the soothing energy of nature to calm everyone’s nerves and let Dad know you love him.

Happy Father’s Day!
