LINE UP & SCHEDULE
OCTOBER 8 - 12 • BELLINGHAM, WA
We’re taking over downtown with music, art, comedy, dance parties, and curiosities that push past the expected. Think SXSW, Treefort, and Iceland Airwaves, but with a distinctly Bellingham flavor, community-built, art-forward, and cheekily themed around breakfast, lunch, and dinner: Eat Up!
For our kickoff weekend, venues across the city will be transformed into living, breathing installations where artists and fans meet in the in-between. The fun doesn’t stop there. Programming continues through November 1 with special shows, parties, and pop-up surprises.

LUCINDA WILLIAMS & HER BAND (ALL AGES)
ABOUT LUCINDA WILLIAMS
Lucinda Williams’ music has gotten her through her darkest days. It’s been that way since growing up amid family chaos in the Deep South, as she recounts in her candid new memoir, Don’t Tell Anybody the Secrets I told You. Over the past two years, it has been the force driving her recovery from a debilitating stroke she suffered on November 17, 2020, at age 67. Her masterful, multi-Grammy-winning songwriting has never deserted her. To wit, her stunning, 16th studio album, Stories from a Rock n Roll Heart, brims over with some of the best work of her career. And though Williams can no longer play her beloved guitar – a constant companion since age 12 – her distinctive vocals sound better than ever.
