WHATCOM COUNTY, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – The weekend before Christmas is going to be another dreary one in Whatcom County. Thankfully, there are plenty of activities you can enjoy indoors. A holiday play, Christmas movies, live music and a dockside market all made the cut for this week’s Lifestyle Lookout.
The Blaine Performing Arts Center presents Intergalactic Holiday. It’s an otherworldly adventure featuring an alien from a distant galaxy who comes to Earth on a mission to find Santa Claus. Apparently, the jolly old man who brings joy to the masses has built up quite a reputation across the galaxy.
Intergalactic Holiday is on Saturday, Dec. 21 at 6 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 22 at 1 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the door. The Blaine Performing Arts Center is located at 975 H Street. For all the details go to daytodaydance.com.
If you are still looking to stock up on some goodies for the Christmas holiday, you do not want to miss the Holiday Dockside Market at Squalicum Harbor in Bellingham. Head down to buy all the best local seafood directly from the local fishing community. There will also be a holiday market, food, craft vendors and a live performance from the Bellingham Youth Jazz Band. Plus, Santa “Claws” will be on hand.
