Brickworks

Brickworks Events Center occupies a historic former brick factory in the heart of Friday Harbor, on San Juan Island in Washington State, within walking distance of the ferry landing and reachable from Seattle, Vancouver, and Bellingham. The building's character comes from its restoration: massive end-to-end wooden trusses held tight with steel brackets rise above an open floor of island fir. The main hall offers a 2,100-square-foot open floor plan that seats up to 120 guests and accommodates as many as 160, suiting weddings, concerts, workshops, conferences, and community celebrations alike. A full commercial kitchen is available to clients and caterers, and the space is equipped with a large drop-down screen, wireless microphones, and in-ceiling sound. Just outside, the Sunshine Plaza adds an outdoor gathering area with greenspace, seating, and the Tokitae Stage for open-air ceremonies and performances. The venue is a project of the San Juan Islands Agricultural Guild, and rental proceeds support the nonprofit's work toward a resilient, sustainable local food system in San Juan County.
