January 4, 2016/in 2016 Winter, Chamber Events, Chamber Newsletters/by Ferndale Chamber

The ‘Tis the Season to Shop Local contest was a great success, with $30,000 in punch cards turned in between November 27 and December 21!

With 20 participating business, we were able to hold drawings and give away 20 prizes valued at $25 each to those who turned in punch cards, along with a grand prize of a $700 ring from Borthwick Jewelery & Coin Inc., for a total of $1,200 given back to those who shopped locally in Ferndale.

We believe this event will only grow in years to come and thank all of the businesses who were a part of the contest, as well as everyone who shopped locally.

Going into its 5th year, the Downtown Trick or Treat continues to grow, with over 50 businesses participating each year and over 750 kids roaming the streets of downtown Ferndale in their favorite costumes.
This year we are closing down Main Street from 1^st-3^rd, along with 2^nd Avenue from Main to Vista and 3^rd Avenue from Main to Vista on Saturday, October 31 from 3-5 p.m. in order to provide a safe environment.
Chamber Members located in the downtown core are welcome to open up their storefronts and have children come trick or treat inside their business. If a Chamber Member is not located in the downtown core, they may set up a tent on the street.
In addition to the Downtown Trick or Treat, we have also added Haunt the Park, in conjunction with the Ferndale Heritage Society.

Ferndale Street Festival

Get ready, because the 12th Annual Ferndale Street Festival is just around the corner!

Over 120 food and craft vendors, live music, Super Hero themed Kids Street, Car Show and a beer garden can all be expected this year.

This year we are excited to feature two 80’s cover bands, one 90’s cover band, a country band and a folk/alternative band. There truly is something for everyone’s ears.

Kids Street, sponsored by the Ferndale YMCA, is going to be superhero themed, so brings the kids out in their best superhero costume!

The beer/wine tent, sponsored by Phillips 66 Ferndale Refinery, will also be themed out this year. We’re going Hawaiian luau with a twist! Once the light starts to fade, parts of the beer garden will begin to glow.

Make sure to mark your calendars for August 28 and 29, because this may just be the best Street Festival yet!
