Who doesn't love a goat? They are very affectionate and like to be petted.

But for those who preferred to ride, there were ponies! Every kid can be a cowboy.

Create a Celebrate Shoreline art project

Sunday, August 15, 2021

As the City has postponed the Celebrate Shoreline event for 2021, they are turning to a participatory way to celebrate.

To celebrate our community, we invite everyone to tell us what “A Welcoming Place for All” looks like in Shoreline. 
Visit shorelinewa.gov/welcoming 
to download the coloring page

Create a drawing, a photo, a statement, short video, or other type of art that you believe reflects the theme of Shoreline as a welcoming place for all. 

We have a coloring page available for kids (or adults!) to download and print.

In addition to art, people can tell the City what makes them feel welcomed and what the community can do to support that by adding to these phrases, or writing your own:

I feel welcome in Shoreline when...

We all have a place in Shoreline when…

My community makes me feel welcome when…

Visit shorelinewa.gov/welcoming to download the coloring page, share your art, or submit a statement.

Celebrate Shoreline – An Attitude of Gratitude in the Pandemic

Monday, August 10, 2020

Positive messages from the Baháʼís
Celebrate Shoreline

The Celebrate Shoreline festival, which runs from August 9th through August 17th this year, was intended also to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the founding of the City of Shoreline. 

Interurban Trail at the Park at Town Center


Due to the pandemic and the requirements for social distancing, however, the usual in-person community celebratory gatherings are not possible. 

Instead, the City is providing yard signs and encouraging residents to create messages and post the signs to send greetings to all.

Abyaz at Aurora Prints

Continuing their participation in Celebrate Shoreline, the Baháʼís of Shoreline teamed up with local Shoreline business, Aurora Prints, to create signs to honor the City of Shoreline’s 25th birthday and to express gratitude to those who are continuing to provide essential services during the pandemic. 



On Sunday, August 9, 2020 the Baháʼís posted signs along the Interurban Trail at the Park at Town Center and elsewhere, thanking the City of Shoreline, Shoreline Fire, Shoreline Police, Healthcare Workers, Grocery Workers, Delivery Workers and all Essential Workers for their service.



While the adults were installing the signs, the kids grabbed the sidewalk chalk, also provided by the City, and wrote messages of tribute and gratitude along the Trail.

Moradian's Sign

The kids’ messages included the statements Happy 25th Birthday, Shoreline – You Rock!, We love Shoreline!, Happy Birthday Shoreline, Be kind to all, Stand Together, and Our Diversity is Our Strength.

Celebrate Shoreline goes through August 17th. There’s still plenty of time to post more signs!

Some of the events took to the pathways - pet a tortoise.

Council of Neighborhoods volunteers helped people
find their neighborhood

Information booths helped people find their neighborhood, get their questions answered about the Prop. 1 ShARCC, pick up a school calendar from Shoreline Schools, learn how to survive a disaster.

Celebrate Shoreline Aug 13 - 18

Sunday, August 11, 2019

2019 marks the 24th birthday of the City of Shoreline. The annual Celebrate Shoreline event commemorates this landmark of the City’s incorporation with activities designed to spark celebration and community spirit. 

The celebration takes place over multiple days and venues to encourage community participation. 

With each year, Celebrate Shoreline reflects the celebration of pride the community has in its Cityhood. 

From local arts organizations and neighborhood associations, to area businesses and individual volunteers, Celebrate Shoreline happens because strong community partnerships come together to show their support for their Shoreline neighbors.

Highlights of 2019 Celebrate Shoreline attractions are as follows:

The North City Jazz Walk will be held Tuesday, August 13 for its 13th year of live jazz music in multiple venues throughout the North City Business District. The Jazz Walk is sponsored by the North City Neighborhood Association, the North City Business Association and the Shoreline Lake Forest Park Arts Council.

The Shoreline Lake Forest Park Arts Council will host Correo Aereo at 6:30pm at Kruckeberg Botanic Garden on Wednesday, August 14th for an evening of music in the garden.

The Celebrate Shoreline Car Show will once again be held at the Shoreline Farmers Market at Shoreline Place. Both the Shoreline Historical Museum and the Farmer’s Market are excited to continue their partnership at this year’s event at 10:00am on Saturday, August 17th.

The Celebrate Shoreline Festival on Saturday, August 17th at Cromwell Park will start at noon and include popular pony rides, the petting zoo, live theater, two music stages, inflatables, roving entertainment, a photo booth, a beer and wine garden, and food trucks offering several varieties of food. The successful toy workshop addition last year is back due to popular demand.

And returning for a third year, the Celebrate Shoreline Festival main stage will showcase three community groups sharing their culture through music and dance.

The City will again host the Celebrate Shoreline Main Stage Concert later into the evening of the main Festival with the beer and wine garden available for all festival goers over 21. Local bands Geoffrey Castle, Chikiri, Smokey Brights and Rolling Stones Concert Experience will play the Main Stage Concert.

And finally, as has become tradition, the sandcastle building contest sponsored by the Richmond Beach Community Association will be accompanied by live Steel Drum music at Richmond Beach Saltwater Park closing out the Celebrate Shoreline weekend on Sunday, August 18, 2019.
