Port Angeles to hold Twilight festivities

PORT ANGELES — Port Angeles will get in on the September vampire mania with a three-day TwilightFest beginning Thursday.

The first-ever festival will be all about Twilight — the best-selling four-novel vampire series written by Stephenie Meyer and set in Forks.

“We really wanted to have an event that would coincide with Stephenie Meyer Day in Forks,” said Barb Frederick, Port Angeles Downtown Association director.

“This will allow fans to enjoy both events in the two very different places that are both important to the books.

“This is also a way that we can really thank fans for all of the help it has given to our stores.

“We have all felt the impact.”

The celebration will begin at noon Thursday with Bella’s “re-birthday” at Dazzled By Twilight, 135 E. First St., in Port Angeles.

The “re-birthday celebration, which will continue until 6 p.m., marks the day that Bella — Isabella Swan, the human heroine of the series, who falls in love with vampire Edward Cullen — is transformed into a vampire in the novels.
