Summer festivals bring fun to Whatcom County

Raspberries and rodeos, carnival rides, parades and classical music – Whatcom County draws hundreds of local folks and tourists from near and far to enjoy summer festivals in the Fourth Corner.

Here are some of the special events that are unique to our part of the world, but since there’s nearly a festival of some kind every weekend between Memorial Day and Labor Day, it’s a good idea to check Take Five, The Bellingham Herald’s arts and entertainment section, each Thursday to get the latest on what’s happening, both in Whatcom County and regionally – around the state, in Seattle and the Greater Mainland of British Columbia.
