Beat the Heat in Bellingham: Outdoor Fun, Music, and Food Trucks
Published 8 months ago
Description
Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Saturday, August 23, 2025. The big headline as we start the weekend is the heat: expect high temperatures soaring into the nineties across Bellingham and through the foothills, thanks to a ridge of high pressure parked overhead. The county remains under both a heat advisory and a red flag fire warning, so if you’re heading outdoors today, stay hydrated, use sunscreen, and be mindful of extremely dry conditions. Remember, a stage two burn ban is in place throughout Whatcom County as fire season continues, and these hot, dry days mean it’s more important than ever to play it safe with anything that could spark flames.
Now, on to the fun. If you’re ready to get moving, Bellingham is the perfect place to be active today. The epic Ride from Seattle to Vancouver and Party, better known as RSVP, pedals through town this afternoon, bringing cyclists along breathtaking routes from Seattle up through Bellingham, then onward to Vancouver. Even if you’re not riding, keep an eye out for waves of cyclists as they pass through—there’s cheering in the air and traffic advisories to keep things running smooth.
Local events for families are in full swing, too. The Whatcom Museum is open all day for kids to get creative at the FIG Artists’ Corner and Studio. If you’re looking to cool off, the Arne Hanna Aquatic Center has family swims and preschool swim sessions throughout the day. There’s also free drop-in play at the Whatcom Family Village and the always popular open play at PlayDate BLI.
If music is more your speed, the Summer Concert in the Park at Boulevard Park runs from six to eight tonight and admission is free. Lay out your picnic blanket and bask in mild evening breezes while you catch live performances on the bay.
Food truck fans should head up to Ferndale for Food Truck Fridays from five thirty to eight pm, sampling some of the area’s best mobile eats. Also happening on Commercial Street in downtown Bellingham, three local drink stands will be serving up their best from eleven to four, making it a great time to stroll through the heart of the city and try something new.
For those looking for a challenge, Peoples Bank just announced the Great Peoples Bank Pig Search starting next Friday. They’re hiding five hundred piggy banks each with ten dollars inside across Whatcom County, and anyone can join the hunt, not just bank customers. Follow their social media for clues and join in for your chance at a thousand dollar grand prize in their online giveaway.
Before we wrap up, there’s important local health news. Select frozen shrimp products have been recalled across Washington, including Whatcom County, due to possible radioactive contamination. Check the FDA advisory page if you’ve purchased shrimp this month and make sure to keep your family safe.
That’s your start to the weekend in Bellingham. Remember to take it easy in the heat, cheer on our visiting cyclists, and enjoy all the great events happening around town. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
