Big Weekend, Small-Town Magic!

July 3rd & 4th in Blaine, Washington, is shaping up to be the kind of weekend people talk about all summer long. As we celebrate America's 250th anniversary of independence, we’re bringing a nationally touring band to an intimate outdoor venue, then following it with a full day of classic Fourth of July celebration- from pancakes and a parade to live music and fireworks over the water.
