The three-day marathon of holiday happenings that surround Indepedence Day on Bainbridge Island is set to return in full patriotic pageantry next week.

Technically, things begin Friday, June 28, as that is the start of donations being accepted for the annual Bainbridge Island Rotary Auction & Rummage Sale at Woodward Middle School.

Drop-offs will continue, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily, through Tuesday, July 2.

After that, the fun begins in earnest.

The July 3 Street Dance will see live music, food vendors, family fun and, of course, dancing in the street from 6 to 11 p.m. Winslow Way will once more be closed to traffic.
