Visit Bellingham to Host SEA&WIN World Games Ticket Raffle During Fairhaven Festival on May 24

Visit Bellingham is inviting locals and visitors to drop by our booth at Stones Throw Brewery during the Fairhaven Festival on Sunday, May 24 to enter for a chance to win two match tickets to see Belgium play Egypt in Seattle on June 15.  The tickets are courtesy of the Seattle Local Organizing Committee (SeattleFWC26) who will work with the raffle winner to redeem their tickets. The first 1,500 entries in the raffle will also receive an exclusive commemorative SEA&WIN prize poster designed by PNW artist Shogo Ota.

Event Details  

What: SEA&WIN World Games Ticket Raffle  

Where: Stones Throw Brewery at the Fairhaven Festival

When: Sunday, May 24 from 12 p.m.- 6 p.m. (No entries will be accepted after 6 p.m. on May 24, 2026)  

How: Find us at Stones Throw Brewery at the Fairhaven Festival to register in person and get entered to win two tickets. The winner will be notified by 6/1.  

Those who can’t attend the festival can still earn a chance to win match tickets by downloading and using the SEA&WIN App, a free mobile game created by SeattleFWC26 to engage soccer fans with fan zone communities across the state. App users can play games, complete quizzes, and visit locations across Bellingham and Washington to earn points that unlock prizes—including chances to win two match tickets to the world games! Other prizes include limited-edition merchandise and the grand prize Golden Ball. Learn more about the SEA&WIN app and prizes here.    

Those who have the app can earn bonus points—and further increase their chance of winning tickets through the app—by checking in at Visit Bellingham’s table during the Fairhaven Festival. This means that if you download the app and participate in the raffle, you’ll have two shots at winning tickets to the biggest sporting event in the world.

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.
