Show off your creative side at the annual Picnic in Color in Downtown Camas. This family-friendly, art-focused event is slated for July 24th, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will feature an interactive puppet show, creative art projects, hands-on clay sculpting, kid-friendly food vendors, and much more. Admission and all art activities are free of charge. This event is organized by the Downtown Camas Association (DCA).
Families are encouraged to come enjoy the Picnic in Color and the plethora of fun activities, all revolving around art and community. New projects and activities include wish boxes, which attendees can decorate. The young and the young at heart will be entertained by a puppet show and kids can create their own clay masterpieces.
The colorful fun and creativity continue with a hands-on tie dye project and children can also create small pieces of paper art, which they can add to a larger collaborative garden-themed art piece, to be displayed in the Camas Library through the end of August.
“As events in Downtown Camas are back in full swing, we’re thrilled to invite our community to Picnic in Color 2022,” said Jan Carter, Event Coordinator for the DCA. “Join in the collaborative event that shows the importance of art in our town. Bring your family and friends and come show your creative side as we celebrate art and community in our wonderful town!”
Dressing in bright colors is encouraged, as the streets will be lined with colorful decorations adding to the vibrancy of this event. Raffle tickets will be given to those dressed with a nod to art and color to enter a prize drawing with items donated by local Downtown Camas businesses.
