Joining First Fed (Parade Sponsor), Kitsap Bank (Street Fair Sponsor), Bainbridge Brewing and Eleven Winery (Beer & Wine Garden), the Chamber is pleased to announce the support of The Marshall Suites (Kids Area), Urban Renaissance (Main Stage), Bainbridge Disposal & COBI (Recycling/Waste Reduction), Puget Sound Energy (Poster Contest), and Via Rosa 11 (Volunteer T-Shirts) for the Grand Old 4th.

Bainbridge Brewing's latest release RESIST Anti-Imperial Stout was made as part of a global effort amongst brewers to support humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine.
