June Highlights in Langley: Celebrating Milestones, Community, and Creativity
June was bursting with energy, milestones, and memories here in Langley! As summer kicked off, so did a slew of celebrations across our vibrant town—each one a reflection of the creative, community-centered spirit we all know and love.

🌿 Anniversaries & Milestones
We’d like to extend heartfelt congratulations to Sugarpill Apothecary, who marked their 2nd anniversary in waterfront Langley location. Artworks Gallery celebrated an incredible 20 years in operation, leading into their July Art Walk with a spectacular sale! Whidbey Island Kayaking paddled into their 21st year of offering tours and rentals, while Sprinklz Ice Cream Parlor and Sweet Mona’s Chocolates each celebrated 11 years in their current locations—Mona’s has been delighting us for 19 years total in Langley! Lilly’s shop, Fairtrade Outfitters also celebrated their 10th year in operation in the heart of Langley.
🎵 Community Highlights
A big cheer for Chris Harshman, beloved South Whidbey High School band director, who retired this June after years of inspiring the next generation of musicians. We also want to send a special birthday shoutout to Josh Hauser, the legendary bookkeeper at Moonraker Books, who turned 90 and continues to be a cherished part of our literary heartbeat.
🐋 Throughout June, the Orca Network led a powerful series of regional events for Orca Action Month, uniting communities across Puget Sound to raise awareness and advocate for the health and recovery of our endangered Southern Resident orcas. The Langley Whale Center serves as a hub of education and celebration. The center welcomed visitors with special exhibits on orca family structures, hosted kid-friendly activities, and partnered with local artists to display orca-inspired works. Staff and volunteers were on hand to share the stories of J, K, and L pods, and the urgent need to protect the salmon they depend on.
🌈 South Whidbey Pride Parade and Festival saw one of its largest turnouts ever, filling the streets with love, color, and community celebration! Though the festivities are over for June, you can still seek our advocacy groups around the island year-long. The celebrations rolled right into LittleBIGFest’s Summer Soulstice Summer Daze event at the Fairgrounds, complete with toe-tapping local bands and bites from Caravan Indian Food and Whidbey Pies.
