Get Involved in the Centennial Celebration

On February 9, 2009, the Town will celebrate a 100 years of incorporation and it is the desire of the Town Council and citizens to begin planning now for a year long celebration which will include many festivals and programs related to this significant milestone.

Plan an Event

Our Centennial Celebration, celebrated from August 2008 - August 2009, will showcase events, activities, performances and exhibits. The Town of Friday Harbor would like to include as many existing events and new events that will honor our past, celebrate our present and imagine our future!
