Event Details

Preparations are in full swing for the Sunday, March 17th Bellingham St Patrick’s Day Parade. 2024 marks 14 years of this fun, community focused celebration.

The parade was created as a way to honor local Police and Fire personnel and thank them for their hard work and dedication to the community. Lieutenant Claudia Murphy is this year’s Grand Marshal. Lieutenant Murphy’s participation has been instrumental to the parade’s success over the years. She will lead the parade of green clad musicians, dancers, marchers, local businesses, nonprofits, schools and groups which all make Bellingham and Whatcom County unique and special. 

Excitement surrounding the lucky double 7 anniversary is apparent by the  community groups who have registered to participate. There is still time to join the parade. Groups without vehicles are not required to register. Those who would like to participate are to gather on Laurel St, off Cornwall Ave ready to march.

The parade of green starts on Granary Ave., turns right onto Chestnut, and ends on Railroad Ave, in front of Boundary Bay Brewery, Bellingham’s unofficial St Patrick’s Day headquarters. 

The shenanigans continue after the parade. Boundary Bay Brewery and Bistro will have live Irish music and dancers and the Beer Garden will be open to all ages. Other businesses will be open with Irish offerings and festivities to enjoy. 

The parade begins at noon on Sunday, March 17th. Visit stpatsbham.com for more info.

Event Details

July 25, 2023. Portland, OR — Oregon Agricultural Trust is pleased to announce its statewide campaign, Cheers to the Land, will make its return this October. Now in its second year, Cheers to the Land asks brewers to make new beers and ciders with Oregon ingredients and to support OAT’s work to permanently protect farmland from development.

Last year nine breweries took part in the campaign, raising $12,000 in support of OAT’s work to protect agricultural land from development and keep it in production. This year the campaign expands to 18 companies — including 16 breweries and 2 cideries — in partnership with Goschie Farms in Silverton and Gold Rush Malt in Baker City.

2023 Participating breweries and cideries include:

Alesong Brewing & Blending (Eugene); Baerlic Brewing (Portland); Barley Brown's Brewing (Baker City); Block 15 Brewing (Corvallis); Buoy Brewing (Astoria); ColdFire Brewing (Eugene); Crux Fermentation Project (Bend); Falling Sky Brewing (Eugene); ForeLand Beer Co. (McMinnville); Fort George Brewing (Astoria); Freebridge Brewing (The Dalles); Gorges Beer Co. (Cascade Locks); Level Beer Co. (Portland); Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider (Portland); 10 Barrel Brewing (Portland); Thunder Island Brewing (Cascade Locks); Son of Man Cider (Cascade Locks); Wolves & People Farmhouse Ales (Newberg).

For more Cheers to the Land updates:

Expect additional announcements later this summer from OAT about tap takeovers across the state, specialty canned beers, and more. Sign up for email updates at cheerstotheland.com.

If you are a beer buyer for a retail location and would like to carry the Cheers to the Land beers, please visit https://www.cheerstotheland.com/stay-in-touch.

Why Oregon Agricultural Trust is necessary

OAT works collaboratively around the state to safeguard Oregon’s farm and ranch lands and the rural communities that depend upon them. The organization protects ag land, helps it stay in production, educates local communities, and helps advocate for farmland preservation. This work is increasingly important because 25% of Oregon’s land is in farming and ranching, 64% of

the land will change hands in the next 20 years as farmers age, yet fewer than 20% of farmers and ranchers have a succession plan in place. Once farmland is paved over, it’s gone. Oregon is renowned for soil that grows quality beer ingredients and OAT is making sure it stays that way.

About Oregon Agricultural Trust

Oregon Agricultural Trust is a statewide agricultural land trust designed to address the interrelated challenges of ag land loss, farm and ranch succession, and access to land for the next generation. OAT partners with farmers and ranchers to protect agricultural lands for the benefit of Oregon’s economy, communities, and landscapes.
