Bellingham events

Mount Baker Theatre

Maya de Vitry

Fri Oct 2

Mount Baker Theatre, 104 N Commercial St

A Lookout Sessions night. The season page lists the date and does not put a start time in the short blurb. A parent show, not a kids’ matinee. Ticket office (360) 734-6080. Friday morning Baby Time is the other end of this day.

BSO: Star-Cross’d Dreams

Sun Oct 4

Mount Baker Theatre, 104 N Commercial St

Bellingham Symphony Orchestra. The theatre lists the concert for Sunday. The start time is on the ticket page, not in the season headline. Better for kids who can sit through an orchestra concert. Saturday’s market is over by 2:00, so Sunday is the separate trip.

What’s on

A bite downtown

The market has the Saturday food. If Sunday is the concert, Fairhaven’s Colophon Cafe is the earlier, kid-friendlier stop. Hours are on the cafe site. No special is posted for this week.
