Why We Host Budfest

The Pillars of Bellingham Budfest
We are two drug policy reform activists with decades of experience promoting the legalization of cannabis. We host this festival in order to promote the normalization of cannabis throughout society via education and also by coming together to celebrate the plant responsibly.
What We Offer at Budfest ...
Live Musical Performance
We feature live musical performances from Pacific Northwest bands. You'll be treated to 2 local DJ's and 6 bands from the PNW.
Educational Panels
We host multiple panels discussing various cannabis, community and reform topics. Make sure to spend time in the boathouse learning.
