WEEKEND: Downtown Port Angeles to bustle with action this weekend

NOTE: “Today” and “tonight” refer to Friday, July 26.

PORT ANGELES — Downtown Port Angeles will be full of action Saturday with sidewalk sales, buskers, a tour and activities for children.

Downtown in Action, sponsored by the Port Angeles Downtown Association, coincides with one day of the Arts in Action festival, on nearby City Pier and Hollywood Beach today through Sunday.

On Saturday downtown, buskers will perform for tips from the Conrad Dyar Memorial Fountain at First and Laurel streets to Railroad Avenue.

Business in the Making — a free, guided behind-the-scenes tour of five businesses that produce the products they sell — will leave from the City Pier bell at noon.

On the tour is Yong Jin Asian Bakery, Udjat Beads, Peak’s Brew Pub, Cabled Fiber Studio and Cock-a-doodle Doughnuts.

Children in action

Children will be able to get into the action with a coloring contest.

Pictures to color can be picked up anytime at Northwest Fudge and Confections, 108 W. First St., and returned there by Wednesday.

Judging will take place in several age categories Thursday.

Watch for locations where budding artists can find sidewalk chalk. Face painting also will be offered.

Merchants plan sidewalk sales during Downtown in Action.

Participants include Brown’s Outdoor, Odyssey Bookshop, Family Shoe, Cabled Fiber Studio, Port Book and News, Anime Kat, Unique Treasures Mall, PA Antique Mall, Rissa’s Barely Consignment, Cottage Queen, Bay Variety and Athlete’s Choice.

Sidewalk sales may start today and continue through Sunday at some locations.
