Downtown Camas offers many events and gatherings throughout the year. There is so much to do in Downtown Camas!
Themed First Friday events happen every month of the year, including Camas Cruise-in, Camas LIVE!, and Art, Women, and Wine. Fun for all!
In the spring, on the day before Mother's Day, is the annual "Plant and Garden Fair", which fills the streets with plants, fresh cut flowers and garden art.
In July, "Camas Days", Downtown Camas's longest running community celebration, brings kid's activities, vendors, parades, live music, a wine and microbrew street, and even bathtub races to town.
The Camas Farmers Market is an agriculturally based market that runs from late May through September on Wednesdays from 3-7:30 offering local and organic produce, plants, and good food. Chef demonstrations with recipes are offered to provide further education on healthy (and delicious!) eating. Weekly live music and kids activities add to the fun.
The Camas Vintage Street Faire brings antiques, vintage vendors, antique appraisals, and historic walking tours to town in late August.
Hometown Holidays is the annual community holiday festival that fills downtown with magic the First Friday of December. Tree lighting, Santa pictures, caroling, shopping events, and kids activities throughout town make this one of the most popular events of the year.
Downtown Camas is a joy to visit and a gift to all that live here. It is a place to gather, enjoy, and belong. We hope to see you soon!
