Chimacum Farmers Market

May 2, 2024 no comments in

Want to shop for locally grown food in the heart of our farming community with your dog at your side? Well, the Chimacum Farmers Market is the market for you. Located just a stone’s throw from several participating farms in Jefferson County’s farm country, the Chimacum Farmers Market operates Sundays, June-October from 10 am to 2 pm. More rustic than its sister market in Port Townsend, this jewel of a market offers a remarkable variety of seasonal produce from neighboring farms as well as artisan food and arts.

From June-October, at Chimacum’s only 4-way stop, in the parking area of Chimacum Corner Farmstand where Highway 19 meets Chimacum Road and Center Road.

“We are so excited for our BIGGEST market yet! Over 35 local makers will be joining us with a wide range of incredible talents — ceramics, jewelry, woodcraft, embroidery, botanical printing, fine art, plant starts, knitted goods — just to name a few! We will also have fresh flower bouquets grown right on the island, wool spinning demos, delicious baked treats and a lovely outdoor picnic area. A perfect way to celebrate Mother’s Day weekend.

First Night

December 20, 2023 no comments in

3PM – 8PM | Sunday, December 31 | Port Townsend
First Night is an all-ages New Year’s Eve extravaganza featuring live music and circus, interactive art experiences, heritage and history exhibits, food, fireworks and more! This unique winter celebration provides attendees of all ages an opportunity to celebrate, connect and participate in a beautiful and momentous experience of light and love in the depths of winter.

Suggested donation: $10 per person or $20 per family w/children (no one turned away). Tickets for the Circus and Key City Public Theater events sold separately.

First Night is a self-guided tour of indoor and outdoor venues in downtown Port Townsend. The heart of the event is set in front of Port Townsend City Hall, on Madison Street between Washington and Water. There you will find a welcoming cast of community, bonfires to gather around, lantern making, face painting, food vendors and the perfect place to watch fireworks. Participating indoor venues include Key City Public Theatre, Jefferson County Historical Society and The American Legion Hall.

First conceived by a small group of artists and musicians for the December 1975 NYE celebration in Boston, the event sought to avoid the emphasis on alcohol typical of New Year’s Eve parties and focus instead on live and interactive arts and culture performances. Today, more than 200 cities nationwide host First Night celebrations. In Port Townsend, this longstanding and beloved tradition became a part of The Production Alliance’s Season of Events in 2021, after more than a decade of stewardship by the Jefferson County Historical Society.

Community Bowls & Soup Share is a collective gesture of care and generosity — offering people an opportunity to take home a beautiful locally-made ceramic bowl with a $30+ donation to Port Townsend Sunrise Rotary Club. Funds raised are then directed to several community wellness efforts– this year to the Olympic Neighbors and the Longhouse for the People project.

Community members will be able to select their bowl from a varied selection handcrafted by local potters at LaughinGnome Pottery, Center Valley Pottery, Millbrook Clayworks and Earth and Aether. Meanwhile, all are invited to access a free bowl of delicious soup in-person at the Cider Garden starting Saturday at noon, while supplies last.

Saturday 11/25 from is also Small Business Saturday and a chance to buy local and invigorate our local creative economy by attending the annual Harvest Craft Fair in the Haybarn from 12-5:30pm., coordinated by Salish Sea Makers Market– with unique holiday gifts including pottery, textile artists, jewelry, print art, herbal products and more. The Haybarn is an uninsulated space so please come bundled up!

Throughout the weekend, the community are also invited to take a self-guided Gratitude Walk that leads folks on a trail of thoughtful and inspiring quotations through the Finnriver Orchard. Take a stroll, take a breath, take time to feel gratitude for the good Earth that sustains us!

The Finnriver taproom will be open throughout the weekend for enjoying hard cider and hot drinks as well as serving food from their Kitchen and hosting local food vendors. Live music on the land as usual all weekend.
