When there’s a holiday there’s a celebration. Bainbridge Island is celebrating July 4th this week with a few funtastic events for the family. Kickin’ this week off with Street Dance on July 3. Get your dancing shoes on and join our favorite artists and performers on Winslow Way. Expect some amazing sounds from Paper Moon, Ocean Men, and Disciples of Patches. Music Masters DJ John is returning yet again for his undefeated danceable beats. KiDiMu will host the kiddos with hands-on activities to build, create, and discover. There will be local food and drink vendors to keep you well-fed. Keep up the energy on Tuesday at the Grand Old 4th of July bash. Grab a drink at their beer, wine, and cider garden and a bite from one (or all!) of their 18 food vendors as you celebrate America’s independence. Fun for kids include a giant slide, pony ride, face painting, build-a-sailboat, and more. Can’t forget the tunes - live music from Alleyoop. And of course, the mile-long Hometown Parade. Last but never least, we’ve got the 63rd Annual Rotary Auction & Rummage Sale on Saturday, July 8. A unique event and topic, often brought up throughout the year. Come buy, donate, or merely experience a true Bainbridge treasure.

Street Dance
There will be Dancing in the Streets! On July 3rd the Celebrate Bainbridge Street Dance returns to Winslow Way.
We have a great line up on our Street Dance stage with Paper Moon starting the evening off at 6:00 pm. Following will be the return of high energy (and local favorites) Ocean Men and finishing off the night's performances will be Disciples of Patches.
Music Masters DJ John returns to the street with his danceable beats across from Madrone Lane starting at 7pm and going until 11pm.
Island littles won't want to miss out on the fun at the Kid’s Zone. KiDiMu will celebrate with hands-on activities and play! Build, create, and discover with Kids Discovery Museum from 6pm - 9pm on Madrone Lane near Dana's.
We will have amazing food vendors lining Winslow Way in addition to our local food and beverage spots. The menus are all incredible this year...from Taste da Boot's Gumbo and Crawfish Etouffee, to Battle Point BBQ's pulled pork sandwiches and Sauced's "Lost Islander Tacos". Of course what would the holiday be without some of Belfair Pop's kettle corn and cotton candy!
Lastly, the fabulous beer & wine garden sponsored by Bainbridge Brewing and Fletcher Bay Winery will be the happening spot for the 21+ crowd. Don't forget your ID and come enjoy a glass of Winslow White or Kömmuter Kölsch.
