Lifestyle Lookout Bluegrass Festival, Camping and Murder City Devils
The Labor Day weekend in Whatcom County features the North Cascades Bluegrass Festival in Deming, running from August 30 to 31. This two-day festival showcases performances from bands like Roosevelt Road and the Burnett Sisters Band, along with workshops for bluegrass enthusiasts. With ideal camping weather, visitors can explore campgrounds such as Douglas Fir, known for its wooded sites along the Nooksack River. Silver Fir Campground offers a more secluded experience, but early arrival is recommended for available spots. In Bellingham, Larrabee Lager Company will host a comedy night on August 29, with comedian Jordan Cerminara.
The Murder City Devils will perform at Wild Buffalo on September 1, following a performance at the Bumbershoot festival. Tickets for the festival and live shows can be purchased online. Outdoor activities and local entertainment make for an engaging holiday weekend.
