New Commercial Street Night Market Sept. 4 – Oct. 2
Sep 2nd, 2015 | Category: CraftsThe new Commercial Street Night Market will take place every Friday night between 6 and 10 p.m. from Sept. 4 through Oct. 2 in the Commercial Street Plaza at 1300 Commercial Street in downtown Bellingham. Over 20 local craftspeople, artists, entertainers and food will give attendees an opportunity to experience Bellingham like they have never seen before. Live music or local DJ’s performing throughout the evening will invite attendees to get their groove on.
KAPOW!, a collaborative design competition held earlier this year, invited the community to design inexpensive projects that would enhance downtown Bellingham’s identity, vitality, and health. After reviewing nearly 50 applications, a judge’s panel chose 10 finalists to pitch their ideas to the community at Bellingham’s 6thannual PechaKucha. There, Dean Fearing presented The Commercial Street Night Market and walked away with two of the three awards.
“I love downtown,” Fearing said. “We are looking forward to the Night Market bringing life and vibrancy to a hidden space downtown. It will be great venue for our community to come together.”
The Commercial Street Night Market is a collaboration between Sustainable Connections,The City of Bellingham, Downtown Bellingham Partnership, Make.Shift Art Space andWhatcom County Association of Realtors.
