Bellingham Budfest is a Whatcom County lifestyle, tourism, and wellness festival that celebrates all the county has to offer in terms of business, art, and music. We host a multitude of various local businesses from stickers to glass artists to food vendors to non-profits.
All companies and organizations that are NOT an I-502 licensee will vend on the boathouse lawn. I-502 licensees must host their booth in the Cannabis Corral.

Non-Profit Scholarship
Founders Scholarship Program
The Founders Scholarship Program of Bellingham Budfest is pleased to offer 10 complimentary booth spaces to non-profit organizations. WHAT'S INCLUDED: 10 ft x 10 ft booth space. You must provide your own table and EZ-UP tent.
We struggled to feed the very hungry mouths of attendees in 2019 due to space limitations. We no longer have these limitations on us set by the Port and have dedicated parking lot space for food vendors.
PLEASE NOTE: No single-use plastics allowed. You MUST use compostable serving items. The food vendor fee is non-refundable. Your logo will be listed on our website, plus social media mentions will let everyone know you'll be present serving up grub. Food vendors are an integral part of our event and we look forward to having you join us in July!
