I can feel spring just around the corner, which makes me itchy with wanderlust. As we trade in our winter snow for the increasingly rainy days of spring, it’s also time to shed our lethargy for adventure! This weekend could bring the perfect opportunity to get out and explore Whatcom County in all its springtime glory. Here are a few ideas for Whatcom County weekend events to get you started. And don’t forget to check our full events calendar for all the fun happenings this weekend.
- Dust off your bike, pump up those tires and hit the trails. Here’s a great guide to Whatcom County mountain biking to get you started.
- Check out the breathtaking works of local photographer and artist, Patrick Beggan. He will be displaying a portrait series entitled “Bellingham at Work.” The show focuses on images of local craftspeople, entrepreneurs and artists creating in their work environments.
- Take some time to reevaluate your “reduce, reuse and recycle” habits to ensure that you’re as green as can be for spring.
- Support youth theater by attending Lynden High School’s production of “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.” This delightful and rambunctious musical set in the rough-and-tumble backwoods of Oregon in the 1850s is a comical tale sure to delight.
- Stretch your legs at the Stewart Mountain Half Marathon and 10k. This is the only race that goes up Stewart Mountain. Runners will enjoy forest and lake views throughout the race and there’s a free kid’s race too!
- Celebrate 19 years of NEA’s Read Across America and Dr. Seuss’ birthday at Village Books in Lynden. Be ready to hear stories and have your picture taken with none other than the Cat in the Hat himself!
