Listen "Bellingham Summer Celebration: Cycling, Pride, and Community Connections"
Episode Synopsis
Good morning, this is your Bellingham Local Frequency for Sunday, July 13, 2025.The city is buzzing this weekend as the Northwest Tune-Up Festival rolls into its final day, bringing together cycling, music, and the best local brews for a community celebration that’s made Bellingham a summer destination. If you or your family are bike enthusiasts, Galbraith Mountain is the place to be. The youth enduro race takes off today, giving young riders their shot at four to six challenging stages on some of the area’s top trails. It’s all about speed, skill, and scenery, with the focus this morning shifting to the next generation of local cycling talent. For a more laid-back ride, the Gravel Gran Fundo pedals out today as well, inviting all ages to choose from three scenic gravel routes. This event is about the joy of exploration and camaraderie—plus, there’s a good chance you’ll snag some free swag along the way. Even if you’re just a fan, there’s plenty of action and energy around the festival grounds, with spectators more than welcome to cheer racers on and soak up the vibes at the heart of Bellingham’s cycling culture.If you’re looking for more reason to celebrate, downtown will light up with Bellingham’s annual Pride Parade, starting at 11 a.m. The parade is just the beginning; the Pride Festival follows from noon to 4 p.m., bringing music, food, and connection to the center of the city. It’s a perfect opportunity to be part of Bellingham’s vibrant and diverse LGBTQ+ community, and everyone—friends, families, and allies—is encouraged to join in. Over in Fairhaven, the Outdoor Cinema continues with family-friendly movies under the stars, so grab a blanket and catch a film after a full day of festivities.For the sports fans, the Bellingham Bells are away today facing the Kamloops NorthPaws, but you can catch them back at Joe Martin Field later this week. Whether you’re a die-hard or a newcomer, supporting the Bells is always a fun and affordable way to spend a summer evening in the city.Finally, on the civic side, the Washington Department of Transportation is seeking public input as they move forward on plans to resurface Meridian Street from I-5 to Kellogg Road. Residents are encouraged to share their thoughts and help shape a project that will affect everyone who travels through this busy corridor.Bellingham is alive with so much to see, do, and shape together this Sunday, so whether you’re riding, marching, cheering, or just relaxing, there’s a place for you in the community today. This has been Bellingham Local Frequency. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.For more http://www.quietplease.aiGet the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
