Happy Independence Day!

It’s the 4th of July! Bellingham Dental Group would like to be the first to wish you a fun, safe and happy Independence Day weekend. Weather you’ll be getting out of town for some camping and hiking in our beautiful national forests or having friends and family over for a fantastic backyard BBQ, we hope your 4th of July weekend will be one to remember as we all celebrate our country’s independence together.

As always the Haggen Family 4th of July Celebration in Zuanich Point Park will be going on all day today, leading up to tonight’s grand fireworks display over Bellingham Bay. The day’s events kick off at 11am with the Hoop it Up Basketball Tournament as well as a family-friendly assortment of old-fashioned fun and games, including sack races, watermelon rolling and a water balloon toss. Also be sure to check out all of the great local vendor booths, live music in the afternoon through the evening and the beer garden for the big kids in the Squalicum Boathouse.

The main fireworks event is set to start just after sunset which will be approximately 10:30pm. So bring your family, gather your friends and we’ll see you at the best fireworks show in town.

Parking will be available, but is extremely limited at Squalicum Harbor. Those attending are encouraged to walk, bike or use the free passenger shuttles that will run from 1pm through 11pm and pick up passengers at Bellingham Technical College located at 3028 Lindbergh Avenue. The drop-off point will be the CityMac parking lot inside Squalicum Harbor. Event-goers can then use the promenade pedestrian path to reach the event site.

There will also be designated handicap parking on site. Caregivers will also be able to drop off and pick up disabled and elderly visitors in front of the Squalicum Boathouse.
