This is the week that Summer officially begins with the Solstice on Wednesday! Accordingly, we are showcasing events that celebrate the beginning of Summer. Take a picnic and enjoy a production of Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”, indulge in a tasty bowl of Paella at Port Madison Yacht Club’s Annual Summer Solstice Party, and join Ham Radio enthusiasts at Battle Point for their annual field day.

Featured Events:

• Shakespeare’s “The Tempest” at Bloedel Reserve, June 23-July 9

• Summer Solstice Party, Port Madison Yacht Club, Saturday June 24

• Ham Radio Field Day at the Battle Point Park Observatory, Sunday, June 25

We are more than half-way through February, the days are getting longer and there is more time to enjoy the extra daylight hours. This week’s events are therefore focused on making it easier for you to find things to do outside! Sign up for this week’s featured events on Bainbridge Island or be a spectator and encourage and cheer on others who are participating! Cycle, cheer on, or watch the Chilly Hilly; visit Bloedel Reserve; Sail (or watch from the shoreline) the Jim Depue Memorial Race.
