Sustainable Connections is now accepting vendor applications for the Commercial Street Night Market, a winning idea from a collaborative design competition held earlier this year titled KAPOW!
KAPOW! 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 ten finalists to pitch their ideas to the community at Bellingham’s 6th annual PechaKucha. There, Dean Fearing presented The Commercial Street Night Market and walked away with two of the three awards. “I love downtown.” Said Fearing. “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 will take place every Friday night from September 4 through October 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.
Applications for all types of vendors are currently being accepted via an online application process. Applications submitted prior to August 3rd have the best chances of being selected. For details and information, visit their website CommercilStreetNightMarket.com
The Commercial Street Night Market is a collaboration between Sustainable Connections, The City of Bellingham, Downtown Bellingham Partnership, Make.Shift Art Space and Whatcom County Association of Realtors.
