Reserve The Heart of Downtown for Your Artist Fairs, Performances, & More!

The Downtown Bellingham Partnership welcomes applications for use of the Commercial Street Plaza, a paved public space located between the parking garage and long-time neighboring businesses Envy Salon, Brandywine Kitchen, Third Planet, and more. The goal of activations is to create a welcoming, vibrant, and positive atmosphere for the public to enjoy during their time in our downtown’s shopping core. All approved events will be promoted on our Monthly Happenings calendar and considered for social media inclusion (depending on availability in our marketing calendar). No inflammatory, divisive, religious, potentially violent or dangerous, and/or political events will be considered acceptable use.

Rates for daily use start at only $50, depending on event size and logistical/equipment needs.

Please submit your ideas and contact information and we will be in touch to make your event ideas a reality!
