THE BRIDGE FESTIVAL: Experience Bainbridge Creative District

Arts & Humanities Bainbridge & its partners (Chamber, BIDA, Visit Bainbridge, Lodging Association, MAC, BIMA, BIJAC) invites you join up for this community celebration entitled, “the BRIDGE FESTIVAL: Experience the Bainbridge Creative District” event on Sep 10 @ Waterfront Park from 11am-10pm.

The purpose of the event is to showcase the creativity of Bainbridge Island as a designated creative district by Washington Arts Commission (ArtsWa).  What this designation means is that we’re recognized as a creative economy (a $42 billion industry in WA) and the State is funding arts, artists, and arts facilities.  The district will directly affect the vitality of our community and this event aims to highlight our creative beacon to our community and region.  We can advocate for the arts and make Bainbridge Island a thriving place to live, work, and visit!

This is a high-energy, just plain fun cover band, playing Country Blues from current chart toppers to classic country hits. Covering music from Brooks & Dunn and Zac Brown Band to Dixie Chicks and Miranda Lambert, they will keep your guests’ feet moving. Combining fun line dance-friendly songs, great vocals and a veteran band, Betsy & The Boys keep the party going all night long!

Reposado
We are living in confusing times. What values should we pursue? It is our duty as Artists to bridge the gap between the physical and spiritual and provide perspective. Awaken your soul, find the rhythm and let it guide you. This is play to honor our past, give gratitude to our present, and pray for our future. Music is a gift that is meant to be shared. As Creative Warriors, our purpose is not just to play music, but use it. It is our weapon against fear. We offer ourselves and honor this power with respect and celebration.
