One of my favorite times of year! Cherry blossoms are bursting at every corner, tulips and daphodils are exploding, lilacs are just on the cusp of blessing us with their blooms and fragrance, the sun is shining, baseball is being played and I'm again reminded that we live in one of the most beautiful places on earth! Bainbridge Island does not disappoint! Whether you're coming over for the day to shop our quaint shops, dine at some of the best restaurants, grabbing a latte with a friend or attending your kids sporting events, Bainbridge is a great destination spot and an even better place to call home!

Join this fun annual tradition and celebrate the island's fabulous Downtown and all that it offers! This is one of my annual favorites. It's a great way to get to know our community, have girl fun and support our local merchants.
