As we say hello to a new year and ease into the first full week of 2026, Bainbridge Island offers a few inviting ways to gather, celebrate, and stay warm together. From theater and cultural tradition to acoustic music in a cozy hall, there’s something happening close to home to help start the year on a connected note.

This Week’s Events:

🌲 Into the Woods

🍡 Mochi Tsuki 2026

🎶 Seabold Second Saturday Acoustic Open Stage

This week’s calendar offers plentiful live music and opportunities to enjoy the arts and culture of Bainbridge Island. 1. The First Friday Art Walk is a tremendous community event that drives opportunities for connection and celebration of the arts. You can start at any place along the route and sample wine and snacks as you go from establishment to establishment enjoying live music and admiring local artists. It’s a wonderful way to kick off the weekend. 2. Tending chickens is big business on Bainbridge. In fact, I think many new islanders move here with dreams of starting a flock and living closer to the land. Bay Hay and Feed is offering a fantastic program on Saturday to learn the basics of chickens. 3. Stop by the concert series, first Sunday Music, and hear the string quartet at the Waterfront Community Center.
