Strings and Things International Music Festival

The 2nd annual Strings & Things International Music Festival was a huge success. Held at the Point Roberts Marina on July 12, 2025, over 1,200 attendees got to hear five bands with 16 musicians performing. Organizers Breeda Desmond and Mike Bell said they couldn’t have done it without the tremendous support from 32 volunteers, local firefighters, Whatcom County sheriff’s deputies, and sponsorship from Whidbey Telecom, Nielson’s Building Center, Boundary Bay Realty and McFrugal’s of Blaine. A partial funding grant came from Whatcom County Tourism.
