BELLINGHAM, Wash. — An outdoor-focused festival is taking over Fairhaven this spring.

Recreation Northwest announced they are expanding and changing the date of their annual EXPO.

The Recreation Northwest EXPO was set up in the Bellingham Ferry Terminal in the past, and this year it will expand to also include the Community Boating Center and to take over lower Fairhaven.

And instead of taking place in the dead of winter as usual, the one-day event will be pushed to May 2nd — just a few weeks before Ski to Sea festivities begin.
