Here’s what we’ve come up with for the revised Road Bike and Trail Run routes and transitions.

See the Road Bike or Trail Run pages for updates and information.

This change was due to how difficult and unsafe it has been to have the road bikes end at the Fairhaven Park Transition.
Now we should have plenty of parking. Parking details still unfolding.

If it smells like fish, it probably is. Please be aware of what you’re doing as you get through Fairhaven. Lots of people with Salmon on the Brain.

Saturday, September 18 || Sidewalk sale 11-5; bbq 1-4pm || $12 for bbq ; hot dogs sold separately

The Big Fairhaven Salmon BBQ & Sidewalk Sale
The Salmon BBQ is a tradition in Fairhaven each September. The menu includes Pacific Northwest King salmon – cooked by fishermen who know the best barbequing techniques. And the price includes the salmon, plus delicious sides, like coleslaw, bread, corn-on-the-cob, a beverage, and dessert. For kids there will be a separate hot-dog meal available. There will be live music on the green, too!

The Sidewalk Sale throughout the district starts at 11 am and continues till 5 pm–so you can shop and enjoy the tantalizing aromas of the bbq at the same time. Each participating store will be putting a table filled with bargains – clothing, books, shoes, pottery, art, crafts, jewelry and much more. You will find tables throughout Fairhaven. One restaurant is even selling no longer used flatware. A great day to go searching for bargains. We invite you down to the Fairhaven Village Green/Fairhaven.

Looking for a great time? Want to “Be Local”? Well, look no further. The Traverse is like a kid-friendly singles bar if you’re new to town. Here’s who will be there: Salmon Lovers, Tree Huggers, Local Athletes, Super Heroes, Dignitaries, Hot Chicks and Cool Dudes. Want to hook up and put some names to faces, it’s easy- just volunteer for the Bellingham Traverse. Let April Claxton, volunteers@bellinghamtraverse.com, know where you’d like to be and we’ll plug you in.   Get Connected. Volunteer.
