February 2014 Events & Happenings

The holidays are over and it’s time to sit back and relax a little bit … after all, you’ve probably been rushing around since before Thanksgiving! Perhaps a day-trip or overnight excursion to La Conner is just the ticket for a winter getaway 2014. We’ve got lots of fun things to do and see – whether you’re in need of a cozy fireplace and a warm drink, a little shopping for YOU this time, or a walk along our boardwalk in the fresh air, we’re just the place to take a bit of a breather before Spring arrives.

Here’s what is happening in La Conner in February
