Bremerton Symphony Orchestra

Where: Bremerton Performing Arts Center
When: Saturday, 7:00pm
What: February concert featuring Pacific Northwest composers

The Bremerton Symphony Orchestra brings professional-level classical music to Kitsap County at prices that won't break the bank. This weekend's program highlights composers from the region — a nice angle you won't get from the Seattle Symphony.

🍎 Farmers Markets & Local Food

Bainbridge Island Farmers Market (Indoor Winter Market)

Where: Bainbridge Island Senior Community Center
When: Saturday, 10am-1pm
What: Local produce, baked goods, crafts, and prepared foods

The winter market is smaller than the summer outdoor market, but it's a great place to stock up on local vegetables, artisan bread, and handmade goods. Plus, it's indoors — no rain worries.

Bremerton Farmers Market

Where: Fourth Street (downtown Bremerton)
When: Saturday, 9am-2pm
What: Fresh produce, flowers, baked goods, local crafts

Bremerton's farmers market is open year-round and remains one of the best places in Kitsap to buy direct from local growers. Even in February, you'll find root vegetables, winter greens, honey, eggs, and plenty of baked goods.

🏃 Community & Recreation

Poulsbo 5K Fun Run

Where: Downtown Poulsbo (starts at American Legion Park)
When: Saturday, 9:00am
What: Community 5K run/walk benefiting local schools

This monthly community run is family-friendly, supports Poulsbo schools, and finishes near downtown — perfect excuse to grab brunch at one of Poulsbo's cafes afterward.

Silverdale Rotary Pancake Breakfast

Where: Silverdale Community Center
When: Sunday, 8am-11am
What: All-you-can-eat pancakes, sausage, and coffee — proceeds support local charities

The Silverdale Rotary pancake breakfast is a Kitsap tradition. It's cheap ($8 adults, $5 kids), the food is solid, and 100% of proceeds go to local community projects. Great way to support the community and fill up before a Sunday adventure.

🛍️ Shopping & Local Business

Bainbridge Island Museum of Art: First Saturday Art Walk

Where: Downtown Winslow (multiple galleries)
When: Saturday, 5pm-8pm
What: Gallery openings, artist meet-and-greets, wine tastings

First Saturday Art Walk is a monthly event where Bainbridge galleries open their doors, showcase new work, and often provide wine and snacks. It's free, walkable, and a nice way to experience Bainbridge's arts scene without committing to a museum ticket.

Poulsbo Antique Mall Winter Sale

Where: Poulsbo
When: All weekend
What: 20% off select vendors, vintage finds, collectibles

If you're into vintage furniture, collectibles, or just browsing, Poulsbo's antique mall is worth a stop. This weekend's sale makes it even better.

🍴 Food & Drink Events

Harbour Public House: Oyster Happy Hour

Where: Bainbridge Island
When: Friday-Sunday, 3pm-6pm
What: $1 oysters, discounted drinks, waterfront views

If you're on Bainbridge this weekend, Harbour Public House's oyster happy hour is one of the best deals in Kitsap. $1 oysters on the waterfront deck (weather permitting) is hard to beat.

Bremerton Brewfest Preview Tasting

Where: Various downtown Bremerton breweries
When: Saturday, 2pm-6pm
What: Preview tastings for the upcoming Bremerton Brewfest

Bremerton Brewfest happens in April, but this weekend you can sample preview batches at local breweries and get early-bird fest tickets. Good excuse for a downtown Bremerton brewery crawl.

🏢 Business & Networking

Kitsap Chamber Coffee Connection

Where: Silverdale (Chamber office)
When: Friday, 8am-9am
What: Monthly networking breakfast for local business owners

If you're a business owner in Kitsap, the Chamber's Coffee Connection is a low-key way to meet other local entrepreneurs, hear about chamber initiatives, and make connections. Free for chamber members, $5 for guests.
