The Bellingham Folk Festival will be hosting entertaining and educational events during these hours:

Sunday, January 26th
During those times you can expect a combination of these entertaining and educational elements:
Sessions/Jams (tunes and sing-alongs, some with scheduled leaders, listeners welcome, too!)

Concerts (performances, some sitting, some standing, some with festival pass, some free with tips appreciated)
Dances (organized and disorganized dancing to live music)
We are delighted to be collaborating once again with Fire & Story Festival!
A collection of large, unique, and artistically designed sculptural fire pits provides a stage for local storytellers, poets, artists, and folk musicians. Dispersed across the Bellingham Waterfront as lighthouses, attendees will walk between each illuminated story and engage in the rhythm of this event during the darkest days of the Pacific Northwest.
Fire & Story Festival will be featuring multimedia events around the fire which are free, open to the public, and just a ten-minute walk from the BFF events happening in Downtown Bellingham. No BFF wristband is required to attend these events.
