Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Saturday, November 8th, 2025.
It is a busy fall Saturday here in Bellingham, so let’s dive into everything you need to know and do around our wonderful city. First up, a word of caution for travelers: the government shutdown is now affecting Bellingham International Airport, leading to several flight cancellations, including at least one Alaska Airlines route to Seattle. The Port urges everyone flying today to double-check flight status online before heading out, as this situation continues to evolve. Stay patient and plan ahead if you’re catching a flight.
Meanwhile, around town, there’s no shortage of happenings to lift your spirits. If you’re ready to kickstart your weekend, the Bellingham Farmers Market at Depot Market Square is running from 10 to 2, offering the freshest late-season produce, handmade treasures, and the welcoming hum of our local community. Right nearby, the Creative Corner Artisan Market adds even more options for unique gifts from our local makers, perfect for getting ahead on holiday shopping.
Speaking of the holidays, shopping fans can enjoy the 43rd Annual Holiday Bazaar at Bellingham Covenant Church from 9 to 4. More than 50 vendors are on hand with crafts, jewelry, artwork, and clothing, plus proceeds from baked goods benefit local charities—so your snack can do some good while you browse. If you’re feeling adventurous, wander up to Ferndale to explore the 25th Annual Nordic Fest. That’s Scandinavian culture on full display, from crafts and parades to a tempting spread at the Norsk café. Admission is five dollars for adults, and kids under twelve get in free.
For live entertainment, how about a little Shakespeare? Idiom Theater’s run of Twelfth Night continues tonight—a classic comedy full of romance and mistaken identity, and a rare chance to catch the Bard performed in such an intimate venue. Curtain rises at 7:30, but make sure to grab those tickets early. More of a music buff? Indie and alt-hip hop fans can catch Felly, with opener Breakup Shoes, playing Wild Buffalo at nine tonight, while lovers of loud riffs can head to the Shakedown where Seattle’s Re-buried and Noroth join local acts for a night of epic metal.
Art lovers, you are not left out. The PURE JOY exhibition at Cordata Gallery and Floral to Comos, featuring Joe Reno’s paintings at Meloy Gallery, are both open today, offering a colorful escape from grey Pacific Northwest skies. And for something hands-on, Garden Spot Nursery hosts a terrarium workshop at ten, while the Whatcom Museum invites you to try cedar weaving or spot salmon returning at Maritime Heritage Park this afternoon.
Sports fans, make your way to Harrington Field at one o’clock as Western Washington women’s soccer, ranked twelfth in the nation, wraps up their regular season against Central Washington. Or, if hockey is more your flavor, WWU faces UC San Diego tonight at the Bellingham Sportsplex.
As sunset nears, Zuanich Point Park becomes the dance floor for this evening’s Silent Disco—just grab a headset, dance in the open air, and make some memories. And remember, Veterans Day is around the corner and Whatcom County Veterans Program stands ready to support those who served with resources and heartfelt gratitude, so reach out if you know a veteran in need of assistance.
That wraps it up for today’s events and updates. However you choose to spend your Saturday, here’s to enjoying the community, creativity, and connection that make Bellingham one of the best places to be. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We’ll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
