With the COVID-19 pandemic no longer the threat it had been the previous few years, the Whatcom County Home and Garden Show®, presented by BIAWC, is back, from April 28-30 at the Northwest Washington Fairgrounds, 1775 Front St., Lynden.
After years in the Henry Jansen Ag Center building, this year’s event moves into the heated Farm Pavilion and Expo building, and into the Phillips 66 Building.
As manager of the Northwest Washington Fairgrounds, Selena Burgess said the BIAWC “does a fantastic job of putting on an event that showcases phenomenal businesses and speakers.”
“Seeing events that have not been happening for the last few years, return, is exciting for our facility,” Burgess said.
This year, the show is open 11 a.m. until 8 p.m. Friday, April 28; 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. Saturday, April 29, and from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. Sunday, April 30.
In a January email to prospective exhibitors, Event Attendees Specialist Stephanie Marry said how excited she is to “have everyone back after two years.”
“Please join us in 2023 and get ideas for your home and gardens, and more,” Marry wrote.
New this year, the Whatcom County Home and Garden Show® boasts food trucks all weekend long to get your grub on.
SB Sharpening will be at the show for on-site sharpening of garden sheers, tools, knives, etc.
But there’s more at the largest Home & Garden Show north of Seattle with workshops, kids activities with special guests, beer garden, wine tasting, whiskey night, new vendor displays and live demonstrations, as well as fun and inspirational speakers, such as Ciscoe Morris, Seattle's favorite gardening expert.
The Outlaws Saloon Beer Garden is Ferndale’s watering hole. Outlaws will bring its wide selection of cold beer to the Whatcom County Home and Garden Show® this April.
Tickets at the door are $10. Discounted tickets are available online at biawc.com, $8 for adults, $7 for seniors, and free for kids 15 and younger, as well as active and retired military personnel.
