How does a paddle on Bellingham Bay sound? Pride Paddle Out runs every Friday through September. Join the LGBTQIA+ community at Community Boating Center in Fairhaven for a casual paddle along Bellingham’s waterfront. They’ll have kayaks and paddle boards to choose from for just $10. It’s first come first serve, so get there early if you want your pick.
Pride Paddle Out hits the water at 5:30 p.m. You’ll need to register online at boatingcenter.org.
We’re looking at some perfect kite flying weather. Lucky for us, the Birch Bay Kite Festival is on Saturday and Sunday. There will be food and craft vendors, kite making workshops, and, of course, kite flying from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at Birch Bay State Park.
This year the folks from Community Action Project will be at the Kite Festival collecting clothing donations. They’re accepting any summer gear for all ages, including t-shirts, shorts, tank tops, sandals, sunscreen, flip flops and water bottles.
Any donations will be passed along to families in need who live in Birch Bay, Blaine, Custer and Point Roberts. So, bring your items to donate with you and help clothe families in need in northwest Whatcom County.
For all the details about the Birch Bay Kite Festival, go to birchbaywa.org.
