“Let your flamingo flag fly and bring us your brightest and boldest attire!” says Leah Nichelson, newly appointed Event and Project Manager for the DCA. “It’s such a joy to see the people come together and enjoy their community at First Friday. I’m looking forward to seeing all the fabulous flamingo-themed costumes! This event has something for all walks of life, from the family of game players to the serious art and music connoisseur. Everyone can enjoy their community and celebrate summer in our wonderful downtown.”
First Friday is hosted by the Downtown Camas Association (DCA) and downtown merchants.
