Join us for a fun and creative evening at our Paint a Buoy event in front of Allied Arts in Downtown Bellingham on Thursday, July 3 from 6 to 8 p.m. This special edition of First Fridays is taking place on Thursday due to the Fourth of July holiday, and we’re excited to be part of the festivities. Stop by to paint your own buoy, which will become part of our Community Net Project, a collaborative art installation to bring awareness to plastic pollution and celebrate maritime heritage will be featured during Bellingham SeaFeast on September 27 & 28, 2025. All supplies are provided, and the event is free and open to all ages. Come add your creativity to the net and help us celebrate our vibrant waterfront community.
