ABOUT US
Exit the ordinary. Enter the extraordinary.
Introducing Bellingham Exit, a multi-day, multi-stage, multi-sensory experience in Downtown Bellingham, Thursday Oct. 10 - Sun, Oct. 13, 2024. Our festival features music, art, comedy, dance parties, art vendors and curiosities on the fringe of expectations. Artists and fans will exit the familiarity of downtown music venues and enter spaces transformed into living, breathing art installations.
Bellingham Exit draws comparison to other events that take over cities like SXSW, Treefort Music Festival and Iceland Airwaves but is set apart by it’s community-inspired, art-forward approach, themed this year after Bellingham’s “Magical Worlds.”
A limited 200 festival passes will be available for Bellingham Exit offering fans priority access to all events throughout the week. Individual tickets will also be available, as well as various FREE POP-UP CONCERTS with RSVP throughout downtown.
WHO IS BELLINGHAM EXIT?
We are a team of PNW industry professionals and specialists. Our Festival Director, Hunter Motto, is the music director for Bellingham Festival, Northwest Tune-Up, Creative Director at The Crocodile–a legendary Seattle venue–and a Western Washington Alumni. Off the heels of a successful Northwest Tune-Up festival, Hunter and the Exit team aim to grow and elevate the local music and arts community.
To bring our Core Venues to life, we are collaborating with Bellingham TheatreWorks, a non-profit founded by Mark Kuntz and Steve Lyons, that will lead a local team of artists building art installations. Their mission is to produce stories of significance to the Pacific Northwest.
Bellingham Bazaar, our two day indie art market with 30+ PNW vendors and craftspeople will be held Friday and Saturday at the Bellingham National Bank Building in tandem with Allied Arts of Whatcom County and Downtown Bellingham Partnership.
