February carries a different kind of energy. Winter is still with us, but there are small signs of movement — longer light, subtle shifts, and moments that ask us to stay connected even when the season feels heavy…and long.
This month at Pier 360, our focus is Courage — the quiet, steady courage it takes to show up, to be seen, and to stay in relationship with ourselves and one another. As our Executive Director, Brad Berry, reflects in his message this month.
Our Staff Prompt this month is Show & Tell. Keep an eye on our social channels to see Pier 360 staff responses.
February’s offerings are designed to support connection, creativity, and shared experiences — from time outdoors to creative expression and community gatherings.
Below you’ll find February’s activities, outings, and opportunities to connect.
