Shipwreck Fest - Free to the Public - July 19, 2025

Forty years ago, our commercial fishermen sold their used gear as yard art on Commercial Ave. "Shipwreck" has evolved into a massive community garage sale including flea market and antique vendors.

The event technically starts at 8 am, but there are usually some businesses and booths that get started right at first light, just like the old time fishermen used to. This event features over 200 vendors set up in booths along Commercial Ave.; each booth brings something new and usually very eclectic, and you are sure to find something that you can’t live without. There are also some food stands set up that serve a variety of different and delicious treats.

This  event is family friendly and is organized by the Fidalgo Island Rotary Club. But, please leave your pet at home. 

Vendors: 2025 Application information and maps are available on the Vendor page.
