10 years of celebrating Bellingham’s Maritime culture
Saturday & Sunday, Sept 26 & 27, 2026
An exhibition of Pacific Northwest seafood, maritime heritage and coastal culture for 10 years running in the heart of Bellingham’s waterfront at Squalicum Harbor & Zuanich Point Park.
What’s Seafeast All About?
Bellingham SeaFeast is where the Pacific Northwest comes alive on the waterfront.
We're a sea-to-table celebration of fresh, local seafood served steps from the working docks that bring it ashore — paired with a deep respect for the fishermen, ecosystems, and sustainable practices that keep these waters thriving for generations to come. Think incredible food, salty air, and a community that takes its relationship with the ocean seriously.
But SeaFeast is more than a meal. It's a full Pacific Northwest experience — from art, music, and performances rooted in our waterfront community, to hands-on exhibits and educational activities that connect visitors to the maritime history shaping our past, present, and future. Come for the BBQ salmon, stay for the culture, and leave with a little more sea in your soul.
Maritime Cultural Heritage
Celebrating the stories, traditions, and art forms that define life on the Bellingham waterfront—and the people who keep that culture alive.
Working Waterfront
SeaFeast happens right where the boats come in. We're proud to shine a spotlight on the fishermen and maritime industries that make this community run.
Sustainable Seafood
From boat to plate, we champion fishing practices that protect the health of our oceans because great seafood starts with a thriving sea.
Ocean Conservation
We're committed to the long game. SeaFeast partners with organizations and educators dedicated to preserving Puget Sound and the Salish Sea for generations to come.
Be part of the maritime magic
Vendors and volunteers are the backbone of the festival.
If you've got great food, handcrafted goods, or a cause you want to share with a crowd that's ready to explore, we want you in the mix. And if you'd rather show up, roll up your sleeves, and help make the magic happen, our volunteer crew is always growing. However you want to get involved, SeaFeast has a place for you.
