Parades. Pie-eating contests. Live music. Classic cars. Small-town summer magic.
Celebrate the Grand Old 4th in the heart of downtown Winslow with a full day of family-friendly traditions, local vendors, community fun, food, drinks, and live entertainment across Bainbridge Island’s biggest summer celebration.
Explore the Street Fair, cheer along the parade route, browse the Car Show, and enjoy kids activities, games, and indoor fun at the Family Fun Zone inside Bainbridge Island Rowing. Grab a drink in the Beer, Wine & Cider Garden, discover local favorites around every corner, and make your way through the day with free shuttles, festival maps, parade voting, and public WiFi.
As part of the nationwide America 250 celebration, this year’s Grand Old 4th honors the spirit of community, tradition, and hometown independence that has brought Bainbridge Island together for generations.
