Rainy weather will give way to sunshine this weekend in Whatcom and Skagit Counties, providing the perfect opportunity to check out the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival. The flowers are starting to show some color, so visitors can enjoy tiptoeing through the fields at various tulip farms and attractions such as Roozengaarde, Garden Rosalyn, Tulip Town, Skagit Acres, and Tulip Valley Farms. The festival offers a range of activities including parades, art exhibits, photo contests, and a street fair, with Willowbrook Manor hosting Tea and Tulips every Friday and Saturday in April.
In addition to the festival, residents can attend the 33rd Annual Drag Show hosted by WWU on April 11. This year’s theme, Diamonds in the Rough, celebrates the resilience and resistance of drag with performances by student drag artists and professionals. The show is open to all ages but may feature adult themes.
For those interested in a different form of entertainment, the Mount Baker Theatre will screen Charlie Chaplin’s classic film, The Circus, accompanied by live music performed by Dennis James on the Wurlitzer organ. The matinee showing on April 12 offers a mix of thrills, romance, and mischievous monkeys, with tickets starting at $10.75.
Meanwhile, indie rock fans can head to the Wild Buffalo House of Music in downtown Bellingham to catch Melt’s live show on Friday night. The band’s charming music, reminiscent of HAIM, Fleetwood Mac, and Taylor Swift, promises an enjoyable evening. Tickets for the show featuring Karie Lynn Sharbaugh can be purchased online.
