While clouds and rain started the day, the sun gradually burned it all off and we had another sunny party. Our 'It All Ends in Fairhaven' festival is a party with over 30,000 guests on our historic district streets. We pull out the stops this one day a year. Enjoy the photos.

The Rock bands played from noon till 6 pm.

A beginning of another charming building on 11th Street - the Young Building shows off its final outline. Ebenal Construction did a great job of moving their construction equipment and fencing back from the street to make room for our party. We thank them.

Wht Whatcom Independent gives great coverage and publicity to the festival and we thank them.

The Information Booth - staffed by volunteers from Fairhaven Realty.

A quieter scene prevails on the Village Green, with non-profits in all the pergola booths and acoustic music and fun stuff for kids.

This is the one day of the year that Good Earth Pottery has their sale of seconds. Several other merchants also had curbside sales and it all adds to our festive scene.

The race finish - down Harris Avenue at Marine Park. Here the kayaker for the winning all women's Whatcom County team rings the bell to mark her finish.

At Marine Park, the booths mostly focus on the athletes and their equipment. With 432 teams of 7 persons per team, they have a lot of prime customers.

It is a ten minute walk from the race finish line at Marine Park to the festival in the historic district of Fairhaven.

Jaimie of Fun to Shop in Sycamore Square performs her smooth hoola hoop routine to the music of the Rock band.

The Beer Garden - always a mellow place and a must for any good party.

The heart of the festival - McKenzie at 11th. The band stage is at the top, four of the twenty food vendors are shown at the bottom and the beer garden is at the right.

The view down Harris Avenue towards the bay, the finish line and Marine Park.

The crossroads of the festival - 11th Street and Harris Avnue - with our info booth and other service booths - and one of our historic buildings from the 1800s.

More easy listening music was played on the Village Green - far enough away from the Rock music at the other side of the historic district.

Down on 10th Street are more craft vendor booths as the festival spreads over several blocks of Fairhaven.

Yep, pony rides. A staple of the festival for many years down on 10th Street and right next to the Village Green.
