"Art March” is a month long invitation for the public to explore Downtown Ferndale’s diverse creative scene while enjoying our unique shopping, dining, and entertainment offerings.

If the sunshine makes you want to spruce up your yard, you’re in luck! This year, the Public Works Department and SOCRRA are kicking off the annual yard waste pickup program two weeks ahead of schedule, starting the week of March 23, 2026, and running through the week of December 14, 2026. Set your yard waste out in paper kraft bags or a labeled container (labels are available at City Hall or the DPW yard) at the curb by 7:00 a.m. on your regular trash day.

Celebrate the season with free goodie-egg hunts at three Ferndale parks! Find the right age group for your little ones, then let them loose to gather as many eggs as they can grab! Find the special egg with a golden ticket inside to win a prize-filled basket. Don’t miss the Easter Bunny—hopping in for an appearance at Martin Road Park!
