Camas First Friday and Annual Tree Lighting

tree Lighting in Camas

Hey neighbors, our little town lights up the tree on Friday, December 5th at 6:30 pm. The event is part of the First Friday Hometown Holidays Celebration hosted by the City of Camas. 

The fun begins at 6:00 pm and continues until 9:00 pm.  In addition to the annual tree lighting,  children can get their photos with Santa, and enjoy entertainment and activities sponsored by Camas Schools. 

 

Hometown Holidays - A  Community Celebration

The downtown core of Camas will be closed to parking and vehicular traffic at 1:00 pm to ensure a safe event. Bring the entire family and experience a true small town celebration - the best part - it's free. 

It's not hard to get into the spirit of the season with musical entertainment, hay rides, caroling, kids crafts, and the famous hot cocoa bar at Journey. Naturally, the downtown shops will be open too with specials and a chance to win a holiday basket.

Hopefully, you're supporting our local stores during their Golden Ticket Event which started on November 20th.  Spend $25 or more at a participating business and you'll get a Golden Ticket that can be used in another participating business for a special discount or incentive. Plus, you'll be entered into the drawing to win a Holiday Basket.

Participating merchants include: Camas AntiquesArktana Shoes4Ever Growing KidsCamas Bike and SportLizzabeth ALil’ Dudes and DivasDeja Vu Camas Ladies ConsignmentNaturally Healthy Pets & PeopleSass Beauty& Massage, and Urban Style Spa & Salon. Everything for your list!

Debb,

That looks so beautiful.  Yesterday, we went out to dinner with friends.  As we were turning down State Street (the main drag), I noticed our decorations, and they were so pretty.  I have to get a picture of them...

Back to your post, I hope your grandkids go, I know I would want to go, and we would love to take you on our long walk...there are so many magical things to see, and I can't wait till the tide goes so low that we can see the under the surface creatures.  A

Hey Debb, that is what makes Camas the charming place that it is - hope you and the family have a wonderful time-tree lighting is so special especially if there is a little snow on the ground.  Do you need any? I can send some your way-we have way too much here already!
