Fairhaven’s Holiday Port Festival and Gingerbread House Contest.

Fairhaven’s annual Holiday Port Festival and Gingerbread House Contest takes place this year December 4 -5

The Port of Bellingham’s big community event is the Holiday Port Festival at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal. As usual there will b performances by local bands, singers and dancers. There are always lots of free family activities, including horse-drawn wagon rides, kid’s art activities, free gingerbread cookies and cider, you can also bring non-perishable items to donate to the food bank. I hear Santa Claus may even pay a visit.

The Gingerbread House Contest is always fun and it will be interesting to see this years entries.

Gingerbread Homes are open for public viewing all 3 days of the Festival. There are 9 categories and ribbons are awarded to top 3 in each.
