This is the weekend Semiahmoo Resort is holding Octoberfest Celebrations. While visiting Blaine WA for the Art-Oberfest Art Show and Gift Market 2016, stop for fresh oysters at the Drayton Harbor Oyster Company, indulge in delicious ice cream at Edaleen Dairy, have coffee and well crafted sandwiches at Peace Arch Cafe, and/or The Little Red Caboose. Saturday morning is the Blaine Gardeners Market on Peace Portal Drive. For lunch, try Big Al’s Diner, another local favorite as is Lizzie’s Cafe for crispy, savory fish and chips (and more). After visiting the art show and artist studios, take a walk in the waterfront park at Blaine Harbor then head out to Semiahmoo Resort for a glass of wine on the waterfront or stay for a delicious dinner at either Packers Oyster Bar or Pierside Kitchen. To make a full weekend, check out the website stayinnblaine.com for local accommodations. Please share with your friends.
