APRIL
Spring displays make a splash in the darkest windows of the downtown with bright, whimsical floral-inspired installations. Featuring fresh and dried flowers from the growers of North Sound Flower Cooperative. This pop-up is meant to coincide with the Skagit Tulip Festival, opening for the First Friday Art Walk in April and extending through Mother's Day weekend.

​

JUNE

Our Commencement Weekend floral display will be up Wednesday, June 10 - Sunday, June 14, on and around the Commercial Street Parking Garage and plaza, between Cornwall and Commercial Streets. A large hanging installation of colorful fabric and fresh flowers will be attached to the side of the Commercial Street Parking Garage and over the alleyway plaza space, creating a gateway from the parking structure to the downtown shopping area. Coinciding with WWU's Last Night Out (6/10) and lasting through the weekend, this design will cater to out-of-town visitors and Bellinghamsters alike. 

​

JULY

We will be hosting free flower crown and flower tattoo workshops leading up to the Pride Parade. Come find us at Aslan Depot on Thursday, July 9th before the drag show, and make a playful piece of floral art to wear to the show - and all weekend long! You can also find us with floral confetti at the start of the parade, outside our studio at 112 Ohio St. 

​

AUGUST

Find floral arrangements during the First Friday Art Walk in downtown art galleries that have been paired with pieces of art. How do they speak to each other? 

Look for our floral "love notes" to beloved downtown businesses that are closing this month, August 14-16th.

NOVEMBER + DECEMBER

Oversized evergreen wreaths and garlands will adorn shops, alleys and street posts in the downtown area. Locally harvested evergreen displays and decorations will go up before Thanksgiving and last through New Year’s Day 2027. Giant wreaths will add a festive flavor to Bellingham’s shopping district as the days get shorter, darker and wetter. Hanging installations can be coordinated with lights, while some wreaths will be at street level for people to interact with and pose for holiday selfies.
