๐ 4:00 โ 7:00 PM (โจ Sunset at 4:33 โข ๐ Last Light at 5:07)
๐ Poulsbo Waterfront Pavilion & Downtown Stroll - Lit up boats at the Port of Poulsbo too!
๐ก๐ What is Illuminate?๐๐ก
For the very first time in Poulsbo, weโre bringing a magical community gathering of ๐ light, ๐ฆ sea, and connection! Imagine strolling downtown with glowing lanterns โจ, jellyfish ๐ชผ, starfish ๐, squid ๐ฆ, glowing boats ๐ค, paddle boards and kayaks ๐ glowing with sea creatures ๐ โฆ all while sipping warm drinks โ๏ธ, enjoying evening strolls ๐ถโโ๏ธ๐ถ, and soaking in a joyful, small-town vibe.
โจ This is a free, alcohol-free event and no sales on site, this one is all about families ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ง, kids ๐ง๐ง, and community ๐ก. Itโs so kid-friendly that many families even bring their dogs ๐ dressed up in glowing costumes ๐ญ๐กโbecause everyone can shine at Illuminate! If youโd like to enjoy a drink, feel free to imbibe at one of Poulsboโs local restaurants or amazing pubs ๐ท๐บโจ.
This is not a big festivalโjust a heartfelt evening where friends ๐ค and neighbors gather to create lasting memories of light and laughter โจ๐.
๐ Schedule of Magic ๐
โจ 4:00 โ Arrive early, explore, and enjoy the strollโshop at the local downtown stores ๐๏ธ and plan to stay for dinner ๐ฒ or warm up with hot cocoa โ๏ธ at a cozy Poulsbo restaurant.
โจ Just before twilight โจ weโll gather at the Pavilion to light up the waterfront together ๐๐ก
โจ When we held Illuminate in Gig Harbor, families had the best time ever ๐โnow itโs Poulsboโs turn to shine! Post your picts and videos to the FB page afterwards, people love to see your costumes!
๐ Why here? ๐
We began this tradition began in Gig Harbor ๐ and has now found a new home in Poulsbo! The City isnโt allowing new large-scale events in the park (to protect the grass ๐ฑ), and being free we do not have the funds for insurance, so this year weโre doing a strolling, grassroots-style celebrationโmeeting at the Pavilion to stroll and let the light shine together ๐
๐ง๐ง Fun for Kids & Adults Alike!
Kids love carrying glowing lanterns โจ, and adults too so we can enjoy the waterfront magic ๐โeveryone is welcome!
๐ Letโs brighten up Poulsboโtogether ๐
๐ชผ๐๐โจ๐ก๐๐ ๐
๐ Support Local ๐
As we light up the waterfront, letโs also shine a little love on Poulsboโs small businesses ๐๏ธ๐ฒโ๏ธ. Shop, dine, and sip locally while you celebrate!
