Ladies Night Out

This one’s just for the ladies! One epic spring night out for the gals, typically close to Mother’s Day.

Mosquito Fleet FEST

A brand new event in 2024 celebrating the origin of our famous vintage steamboats, the Mosquito Fleet, that ferried passengers and wares from one PNW town to another in the early 1900s. This year, we’re adding a second day with additional experiences.

Boo Bash

October 25, 2025
The Saturday before Halloween is designated as our annual Boo Bash event! Store owners and community members decorate Bay Street and create fun environments for kids and families to trick or treat safely.

Holiday on the bay

December 6, 2025
While we’ve always celebrated the ‘Holidays on the Bay’, 2024 brought brand new traditions as our business members combined efforts with the city and other stakeholders to produce an all-day holiday celebration for the whole family. In 2025 we look forward to continuing this new spin on our traditional tree lighting ceremony.
