Holly Jolly Gear & Cheer

Join Kula Cloth, Alpine Fit and a few or our favorite local artists, to help you kick off the holiday season. Whether you’re looking for meaningful holiday gifts, a fun evening out with friends, or just a chance to enjoy some seasonal cheer, this is the place to be.

This year is extra special—we’re welcoming Jen from Alpine Fit to her new home in Bellingham after her big move from Alaska. Come say hi, and check out the incredible gear she creates with her women-owned brand.

We’ll also be bringing the Make a Kula Station so you’ll have the chance to make your own custom Kula Cloth. Seriously! Bring photos, artwork, or ideas and we'll turn them into memorable gifts for all your loved ones!

Plus, you can also create beautiful wood-burned ornaments, paint holiday cards, sip beers, and hang out in a warm indoor space filled with good people and good energy.

Christina Looney and Crystal Bailar—two incredibly talented local artists—will be there to inspire your creativity, guide your projects, and help you walk away with gifts you’re actually excited to give. And if all that is not reason enough to attend... Heidi (Yes! Heidi) from Gritty Habits will also be there with some amazing headwear for you to purchase!

Gear Up for Winter with Alpine Fit
Try on layers that actually fit real bodies and feel good all day—perfect for gifting, adventuring, or just staying warm on a rainy day.

Create a Custom Kula Cloth
Turn a special photo, drawing, or idea into a one-of-a-kind Kula Cloth for someone you love… or for yourself (we don’t judge).

Make Wood-Burned Holiday Ornaments
Create something heartfelt (or hilarious) with the help of Crystal Bailar from Mosstangle Arts: Holiday Gnomes, mountains, festive outhouses—it’s all fair game.

Design Hand-Painted Holiday Cards
Artist-led watercolor fun with Christina Looney and friends. Relaxing, beautiful, and totally giftable.

Enjoy Local Brews & Bites
Grab a drink at Stemma West and settle in with craft beer, cider, N/A options, and ice cream. The Riviera Club is right there for bowls, burgers, tots, and all the cozy comfort food.

Find the Perfect Headwear for Your Friends, Family and Your Adventures

Gritty Habits is bringing technical headwear for adventurous women... and it performs as good as it looks. They'll make great gifts and will inspire your friends to embrace their grit in the outdoors!

Expect a Few Surprises
Little moments of magic, fun extras, and maybe something you didn’t even know you needed this holiday season.

Whether you’re crafting, connecting, shopping small, or just soaking up good holiday energy, we can’t wait to see you.

The event is free to attend. Wood burning crafts, custom Kula Cloths and incredible outdoor clothing from Alpine Fit will be available for purchase.
