Bellingham SeaFeast: Fisher Poets in Bellingham
September 30, 2016
FREEBellingham SeaFeast showcases and celebrates our rich maritime heritage, thriving working waterfront, commercial fishing and seafood industries, and the culinary bounty of our corner of the Pacific Northwest.
The inaugural Bellingham SeaFeast begins with a special first-time event, sponsored by Washington Sea Grant:
FisherPoets-in-Bellingham
Friday, Sept. 30, 1pm – 9pm
Stroll through downtown Bellingham and listen to old salts and other local fishers read poems, stories and sing sea shanties and songs in the 1st Annual FisherPoets-in-Bellingham. In this take-off on the renowned FisherPoets Gathering in Astoria, Oregon, FisherPoets-in-Bellingham promises to produce smiles and laughter as fishers share their tales over local ales (brewed right in the setting). A popular local dance band will follow into the night.
