We will be pouring at the 6th annual PechaKucha event where 10 finalists from the KAPOW placemaking competition will present their ideas for building a stronger, healthier and more vibrant downtown.

Three ideas will be chosen for implementation (one mayor's award, one jury selected award, and one people's choice award). Participate in live voting, enjoy local beer & music, dress up like a superhero and be the first to find out what projects will be implemented in Downtown Bellingham. All proceeds from the event go to the winners for implementation!

What is PechaKucha? Now presented in over 700 cities, PechaKucha was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It is a simple format where presenters show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically and presenters talk along to the images.
