Help make Downtown Bellingham’s holiday season shine by sponsoring Shine Bright Bham, our annual celebration of festive cheer and community spirit!

This year’s highlights include Shop Small Saturday on November 30, encouraging the community to shop locally instead of big box stores or online. Your support helps showcase our unique local businesses, making Bellingham a prime holiday shopping destination. Thanks to a generous grant from BECU, our campaign is already funded with $4,500 to award 30 street-level businesses with $150 microgrants to invest in holiday window displays! Help us match or exceed this generous seed fund to further brighten our streets and events.

At the Tree Lighting Ceremony at Depot Market Square, your sponsorship brings holiday joy to life with:

Free hot cocoa, cookies, and a photo booth by Glitt3r Lyfe,
Craft tables from Art and Happiness,
Treats from Ralf’s Bavarian Bakery, and more!

Your contribution funds these magical experiences and helps keep Bellingham’s holiday spirit alive. Partner with Shine Bright Bham today and make this season unforgettable!
