Summer’s End has announced the return of its signature festival, Summer’s End Music and Arts Gathering for its third year, taking place on August 17, 2018. The festival will bring together over 65 local artists, vendors, food trucks and creatives with nationally recognized musicians for our biggest event ever. Hosted by Originators Media and Tito’s Vodka and supported by local establishments such as Kombucha Town, Camber, Vital Climbing Gym and The Community Co-op, the event will provide Bellingham, British Columbia and the Greater Seattle area with one last chance to bask in the sun before summer fades to fall.
“Summer’s End is a chance for Bellingham, WA to showcase the artistic and community-focused values that make the city a unique and inviting place” – Alex Dixon, Co-Founder of Summer’s End.
To achieve our vision for the 2018 incarnation of Summer’s End, the team planned and executed the following:
- In order to increase participation from the Bellingham community, the team added new members and offered internships for students looking to gain experience in event planning, logistics and marketing.
- After transforming Larrabee State Park and Maritime Heritage Park over the last two years of the Summer’s End experience, Zuanich Point Park became a new home, setting the pace for the largest festival that Downtown Bellingham has ever been a part of.
About Summer’s End
Summer’s End is a team of creatives and event specialists dedicated to delivering events that celebrate the creativity, diversity and local establishments which bring together the most valued and unique aspects of the communities it operates in. With over 30 events under our belt since 2016, our team is dedicated to building lasting memories and relationships with an audience that goes far beyond its events and gatherings.
As our third year of Summer’s End approaches, we made it a point to focus on sustainability as our goal for 2018. This means that we will be maintaining a festival that can truly continue to grow through community involvement. In order to be able to celebrate Summer’s End for years to come, we launched our first ticketed year of our experience in order to stimulate the local economy with an end goal of producing multiple part-time jobs for creative, ambitious and driven individuals. Tickets are now on pre-sale for $20, payment plans are also available for $8.33 per month and children under 12 are free. We strongly encourage any members of our community who cannot afford a ticket to our event to apply to become a greater part of our experience through our application. For attendees that cannot contribute through a helping hand or a ticket for any reason, please email alex@orgntrs.com with your story and we will try our best to accommodate you.
