Join us on the first Friday of May, June, July, and August from 6-8pm for Tides & Tunes at the Pier, a laid-back acoustic music series set right on the Central Avenue Pier in front of the Granary Building. As the seasons shift and the evenings stretch longer, we’re bringing live music, waterfront views, and a welcoming atmosphere to the Waterfront District.
May 1st - Blue Collar Grass Band
June 5th - TBD
July 3rd - The Librarians
August 7th - J Chang & The Lover Boys
Each night features live acoustic performances paired with special activations from Granary businesses, making it easy to explore, connect, and experience something new just steps from the shoreline. As part of Downtown’s First Friday, you can expect even more energy, foot traffic, and reasons to make a night of it.
The kickoff on May 1st also has a FREE bike valet, so bike down to the Waterfront and be rest assured your bike is in safe hands.
Come early, stay awhile, and see what the Granary has to offer!
What to expect:
- Live acoustic music on the Pier
- Pop-ups and special offerings from Granary businesses
- A fun & social atmosphere with beautiful waterfront views
Participating activations include:
- Mercato della Bontà expanding their patio service
- Bison Bookbinding + Yacht Dogs open for the evening
- Miraculous Eventz with a party tent featuring face painting, hair braiding, tooth gems, and more
Full music lineup coming soon!
This event is made possible by funding from the City of Bellingham Parks & Recreation Department.
