National Night Out – Safety Parade

Tuesday, August 3rd, 2021

What is National Night Out?

National Night Out focuses on community and raising awareness through camaraderie. By improving area relationships, the hope is to make our neighborhoods safer. Shining a spotlight on community police programs, National Night Out increases connections between those who serve and their neighborhoods.

You might remember the event we held in 2019 the Birch Bay Beach Park field. This family friendly event featured fire trucks from North Whatcom Fire & Rescue, BP, Phillips 66, police vehicles from Whatcom County Sheriff & Blaine Police Department, as well as a variety of vehicles from Search & Rescue and Boarder Patrol.

In 2020 to help control the spread of COVID-19 we took some of these vehicles on a safe, socially distanced parade through the neighborhoods in Birch Bay. It was a great night to BBQ on your front porch wave to your neighbors & watch the parade come through your neighborhood with lights flashing and sirens blaring!

In 2021 we are looking to bringing a combination of these two events to Birch Bay for you to enjoy. 

Ring of Fire and Hope

December 31st, 2021

The annual Birch Bay Ring of Fire & Hope takes place each December 31st at 7pm. Everyone heads down to the shoreline, lights a biodegradable road flare and places it near the water. With people all around the bay participating, the effect is beautiful and the entire bay looks like a string of red Christmas lights from end to end.

The Birch Bay Chamber of Commerce will have a limited number of flares to hand out for New Year’s Eve, 2021. We will be available at the Birch Bay Visitor Center to hand them out starting at 9am on New Years Eve until they are gone. Remember – Only 1 per family.

Click the button below for a list of local businesses to purchase flares at if your family requires more than one, or you want to guarantee you get one. 

Please send us your photos and videos of the 2020 Ring of Fire & Hope. We love to share them on our Social Media and on our website. Please email events@birchbaychamber.com
