Hosted and organized by the City of Camas, Hometown Holidays is a beloved community event taking place Friday, December 4, 2015 from 6-9 pm. Photos with Santa, crafts, lighting the Christmas tree, hay rides, Camas Schools entertainment, food and refreshments – it’s all back!
The fun will begin with welcoming entertainment by Camas High School’s Brass Ensemble at 6:00 pm in front of Liberty Theatre and the lighting of the Christmas tree by Mayor Scott Higgins at 6:30 pm sharp. “Each year just gets better and better.” says Krista Bashaw, Special Events Coordinator for the City of Camas, who has coordinated the event for over 10 years. “This is one of Mayor Higgins’ favorite events and he made sure to add one special surprise to the opening of the festivities. Make sure to be at the lighting-of-the-tree at 6:30 pm to be part of that ooh-aah moment.”
From 6:45 pm to 9:00 pm, Downtown Camas will be bustling with over 15 school and community choirs, bands and dancers, photos with Santa, tractor hay rides, crafts for the kids, street food vendors, and downtown restaurants and shops open for business. Photos with Santa start early this year, at 6:00 pm and go to 8:30 pm (on Birch next to 4th Ave).
All of the event activities are free. Maps and event schedules are available at the main festival tent. For more information, visit Hometown Holidays at the City of Camas page.
