Beats on the Bay brings free live music back to Bellingham Bay

Beats on the Bay, a free concert series, will kick off on August 13 in Bellingham, WA, featuring Seattle-based singer-songwriter Kate Dinsmore. The series, hosted by the Community Boating Center, invites concertgoers to paddle out in kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, or rowboats to enjoy performances on Bellingham Bay. After Dinsmore's show, attendees can look forward to performances by MaSango on September 3, showcasing Zimbabwean music, and Smooth Kiwi on September 10, a local psych-rock band. The Community Boating Center offers rentals for small watercraft, making it accessible for everyone to participate. This initiative promotes local culture and community engagement through music while highlighting the beauty of Bellingham's waterfront.

The concerts aim to foster a sense of community and provide a unique experience for attendees. Events like this enhance the cultural fabric of the area and offer residents a chance to connect with local artists. Beats on the Bay exemplifies the growing trend of integrating outdoor recreational activities with live music events.
