Bellingham-Whatcom Peace Vigil

Bellingham-Whatcom Peace Vigil Bellingham is home to the longest-running Weekly Peace Vigil in the U.S., held every Friday from 4-5pm on the corner of Magnolia and Cornwall. Open to all.

The Bellingham Peace Vigil is the longest-running weekly peace vigil in the United States. It began as a silent vigil in 1966, when Howard Harris, his wife Rosemary and their friend Colleen Dickenson decided to make a public stance against the Vietnam War and it has continued as an ongoing protest against nuclear proliferation, the wars in Iraq and the occupation of Afghanistan. Harris, a retired

anthropology professor, continues to live in Bellingham. Media about the vigil:
