BELLINGHAM, WA (MyBellinghamNow.com) – A grassroots, female focused event is back and bigger than ever.

Shifting Gears’ Mackenzie Lynch announced that Wild Women Week is returning to Bellingham starting on Monday, Feb. 23.

Per the name, Wild Women Week has historically taken place over the course of a week, but this year the event will span two weeks before wrapping on March 8, or International Women’s Day.

Wild Women Week is a largely free celebration, with numerous activities centered around getting women and femme-identifying people outdoors and engaged in their community.

The week kicks off at Lost Giants Cider Co. with a film night next Monday.

Dozens of businesses take part in the event and you can find out more about what will be happening over the next two weeks by clicking here.
