5:30pm Doors | Event Starts at 6:00pm | $10 Donation

Celebrate the people, places, and organizations that make Bellingham shine! The Scepter Awards honor those who have impacted and improved life in Downtown Bellingham with a community ceremony and party.

For the first time since 2019, the Scepter Awards are back in person and bigger than ever with the Wild Buffalo House of Music’s iconic stage. 

Your favorite Bellebrities will make an appearance (did someone say lip syncing?!), the bar is open, food from nearby restaurants will be catered in, raffles for prizes, and so much more.

The Downtown Bellingham Partnership will honor over a dozen award recipients to recognize Most Transformative Space, Behind the Scenes Superheroes, Rising Stars, and more. The public is invited to submit nominations for the People’s Choice Award too! 

You’ll want to be in this room to kick of the holiday festivities and share in our collective resilience and joy.

Ticket sales and raffle tickets go to support the Downtown Bellingham Partnership, a 501c3 organization championing the health and vitality of downtown Bellingham through the promotion of commerce, culture, and celebration for over 20 years. You may know them best for Downtown Sounds, but the Downtown Bellingham Partnership is so much more. From annual hanging baskets, to street cleaning services, public art installations, and business community advocacy, the Downtown Bellingham Partnership is at every intersection of our community.

***The $10 admission charge is a donation to the partnership and will also get you free food catered by nearby restaurants as well as a raffle ticket that will give you a chance to win great prizes from other local businesses!***
