Paddle with Pride on Bellingham Bay!

Celebrate Pride Month with a colorful parade-style paddle on Bellingham Bay! Join the Community Boating Center for an afternoon of creativity, community, and joy on the water.

We’ll start with boat decorating, face painting, and sign-making before launching together from CBC and paddling north along the Boulevard Park boardwalk. CBC will provide sit-on-top kayaks, sea kayaks, rowboats, Mega SUPs, paddle boards, and all required safety gear.

Bringing your own boat is welcome, but pre-registration is still required.
