You'll find plenty of fun up and down Ferndale’s Main Street this weekend, despite the scheduled Fernbridge closure.

As a reminder, the main route into Ferndale is scheduled to be closed for maintenance from 8pm on Friday, February 23 to noon on Sunday, February 25, weather permitting.

You’ll be able to access Ferndale by taking Blue Slide Road from Rio Dell. While this scenic detour may add approximately 20-25 minutes to the typical drive, a warm Ferndale welcome will be awaiting you!

This weekend’s happenings include:

• Closing weekend of “A Gentleman’s Guide to Love & Murder” at Ferndale Repertory Theatre: Your last chance to see this hit show! Friday and Saturday at 7:30pm (Sunday sold out!). Use code DETOUR for $3 off per ticket, plus free popcorn, at ferndalerep.org.

• Open shops and restaurants! Tuyas will be open all weekend with normal hours! Its sister Cantina next door will be open for dinner. The Boardroom will be open Thursday from 4:30-8pm (with live music by Flynn Martin from 6-8pm) and Friday from 4:30-8pm. Check out Main Street Coffee’s fun “back road specials” (open all weekend)! Golden Gait Mercantile and its sister boutique, Sunshine & Fog, will be open all weekend. Poppa Joe’s: open all weekend with normal hours! And much more!
