Costume Contest:  We had such a great turnout last year, we decided to bring it back! Come dressed in your most most creative outfit for a chance to win tickets to next year's event! Halfway through each session costume contestants will line up for a round of applause. The winner will be selected based on the loudest cheers, and awarded a free ticket for next year’s event.  No specific theme, no registration, just come dressed to impress in your most creative outfits!

New Venue, New Name Contest:  Bier on the Pier has moved to a new location at the Depot Center, so we've renamed it Bier Near the Pier.  This will be our spot until the new Anacortes Community Event Center is completed (projected for 2030).  What do you think it should be called?  Submit your most creative name suggestion for a chance to win free tickets and bragging rights for renaming this beloved Anacortes festival.
